Fines and traffic accidents: legal support in Poland

Anyone who drives a vehicle in Poland — from private drivers to international carriers — may face fines or traffic accidents. Often, even a minor violation or misunderstanding with the police can lead to major problems: blocked accounts, loss of licences, or court proceedings. In such situations, the best solution is to seek legal support from a consultant who can provide professional protection and a clear strategy for action.

Main types of fines and violations

Poland has a system of fines, where each violation has its own consequences — financial, administrative, or even criminal. It is important not only to pay the fine, but also to understand whether it was imposed legally.

The most common cases include:

speeding or violation of the driver's working hours;
overloading of transport or incorrect completion of cargo documents;
lack of a vignette or non-payment of road tolls through the e-TOLL system;
traffic accidents with damage to cargo or third-party property;
violation of international transport rules or use of a tachograph.

A lawyer will help you determine whether you can avoid a fine, reduce its amount, or close the case entirely.

How a lawyer can help with fines and traffic accidents

Legal support covers not only legal assistance, but also a complete analysis of the circumstances of the case. This is especially important when a driver or company is facing claims from the police, GITD or insurance companies.

The Consultant team provides professional support at all stages, including:

preparation of objections, complaints and appeals against unlawful actions by the police or transport inspectorate;
representation of clients' interests in cases related to traffic accidents, disputes with insurance companies and compensation for damages;
consulting on transport and labour law issues, including the specifics of driver liability;
legal support when communicating with the police, insurance agents and government agencies to avoid incorrectly drafted reports or statements.

In addition to ongoing assistance, lawyers prepare clients for future situations — they develop algorithms for action in the event of a traffic accident, check that all necessary documents are present in the vehicle, and explain how to interact with insurance companies correctly. Having a lawyer with experience in transport law allows you to minimise financial and reputational risks and quickly restore stable operation of the company after an incident.

How to avoid fines and problems with the police

To avoid trouble, drivers and companies should follow a few simple but effective rules. This will help reduce the risk of fines and delays during transport.

Key advice from Consultant lawyers:

Check your documents regularly — driving licences, permits, tachographs and insurance policies must be valid and correctly completed.
Monitor the technical condition of your vehicles — malfunctions often result in fines or even vehicle impoundment.
Train drivers — short briefings on traffic rules in Poland reduce the number of misunderstandings with the police.

Following these recommendations not only saves money, but also guarantees smooth operation without interruptions in transportation.

They helped me deal with the insurance company after a minor accident. Everything was fine, but the consultation could have been a little shorter — it took a lot of time.

The service is high-quality, but the response to the first request was a little delayed. After that, everything was clear, and I am satisfied with the result.

I was involved in a traffic accident in Katowice, and the police filed a report against me, even though I was not at fault. Thanks to Consultant's lawyers, the case was closed without going to court. I am very grateful for their support!
