| description | Due to the lack of professional staff and the high workload of investigators, investigations into crimes against road safety and transport operation are often conducted ineffectively. As a result, the rights of victims of car accidents stay unprotected. This makes the issue of providing them with legal aid especially important. The purpose of this study was to develop the principles of victim representation at the subsequent stage of pre-trial investigation of crimes against road safety. The methods used in this study include general scientific methods (inductive, deductive, analysis, synthesis, analogy, modelling) and special methods (systemic and structural analysis, logical-legal, comparative legal, sociological). The activities of a road traffic accident victim’s representative during the subsequent stage of pre-trial investigation are considered with a division into separate components (procedural, control and advisory, and search) which are interrelated and interdependent. The features of these components in their interconnection were systematically outlined. The procedural and control-advisory components were studied inseparably from each other at the general level and at the level of concrete investigative (detective) actions. The search component was studied separately with the definition of its specific components, methods and means of their implementation. The study defined the principles of organisation and some tactical methods of representation of a road traffic accident victim at the subsequent stage of pre-trial investigation of crimes against road traffic safety. The author proposes a methodology for initiating the necessary investigative actions by the victim’s representative in different types of interaction (constructive, official business, conflict) that develop at a later stage between them and representatives of the prosecution. Based on the analysis of Ukrainian legislation and its application practice, the study identified the range of problems arising in the practical activities of a representative of a road traffic accident victim at the subsequent stage of pre-trial investigation and suggested ways to resolve them. The use of the provisions of this study will contribute to the improvement of the activities of trial lawyers, increase the effectiveness of legal aid to victims of road accidents, and to further research in this area |
