The client, a 58 year old employee of the Commonwealth, received an application for criminal complaint after crashing her car onto a neighbor’s property; hired Boston Criminal Lawyer Steven J. Topazio to defend her. Boston Criminal Attorney Topazio met with his client and learned that this was the third time in the month that his client blacked out, and was concerned that the Commonwealth would argue that his client put the public at risk for operating a motor vehicle when she knew she was blacking out. Boston Criminal Defense Lawyer Topazio obtained medical documentation that his client’s treating physicians examined his client prior to the motor vehicle crash and cleared her without restrictions. Following the motor vehicle crash, it was discovered the client suffered from a medical condition which required emergency medical intervention. Today, Boston Criminal Defense Attorney Steven J. Topazio argued that his client did not knowingly put the public at risk of harm or endangered the lives or safety of other people since she did not know her medical problem would cause her to crash. Boston Criminal Lawyer Topazio argued that his client was not negligent but in any event, would not have any problems in the future due to the medical intervention, and the Magistrate agreed.
