California motorists with certain physical and mental conditions
can lose their driver’s licenses in what is known as a medical
suspension. However, the California Department of Motor Vehicles
must grant the driver a hearing in regards to the suspended license. The driver is entitled to be
represented by a lawyer who can introduce evidence that shows that
the motorist is fit to drive. The skilled,
compassionate attorneys of The Kavinoky Law Firm are experienced
in every aspect of California DMV medical suspension hearings, and
will effectively fight to protect the driver’s license and
freedom.
The knowledgeable attorneys of The Kavinoky
Law Firm focus their practice on driving-related issues, and
have the experience needed to present a persuasive argument on the
driver’s behalf to the DMV hearing officer. There are a variety
of conditions that can trigger
a California medical driver’s license suspension, and while
not every suspension can be successfully challenged, many can. The
caring lawyers of The Kavinoky Law Firm are here to help.
A knowledgeable attorney from The Kavinoky Law Firm will attend
to every detail of challenging the driver’s medical
suspension, from scheduling a DMV
hearing to gathering the necessary medical support to challenge
the suspension. There are several actions that can greatly improve
the driver’s chances of remaining licensed after a medical
suspension.
The first step is to enlist the help of a doctor who feels the driver is currently fit to be behind the wheel. In addition to filling out the Department of Motor Vehicles’ Driver Medical Evaluation form, the doctor may be asked to write a short letter in support of the driver’s petition to remain licensed. Such a letter can provide a considerable contribution to the driver’s case.
Another way that the motorist can advance the effort to remain licensed is to take driving lessons or a safety course. Many drivers feel that this step is unnecessary – after all, many have been behind the wheel for decades – but it can help to convince the DMV hearing officer that the driver is deeply committed to safely operating a motor vehicle. And a refresher course can often help the driver to ace the written and skills tests required to reinstate the license.
Ultimately, a DMV medical suspension hearing must focus on the driver’s current fitness to
be behind the wheel, not the circumstances that led to the suspension
or the number of years the driver has been licensed. A
compassionate driver’s license lawyer from The Kavinoky Law
Firm will devise a winning strategy designed to help the driver
remain licensed and protect his or her rights and freedom. Department
of Motor Vehicles medical suspension hearings can be won with the
help of an expert attorney. Contact The Kavinoky Law Firm today
