Summary/Abstract: Traffic accidents are a reality every day, in every country. Accidents can result in various consequences, including material damage, injuries to individual participants, and in the most severe situations, fatal consequences. In most of these situations, except when it comes to minor material damage, in which case the participants make a European traffic accident report, the authorities of the procedure - the police or public prosecutors - conduct the investigation. Official’s omissions during the investigation can create significant gaps in the subsequent criminal proceedings, whether they are criminal or misdemeanor proceedings. Essentially, these omissions can also play a significant role in civil proceedings related to damages, which take place after the criminal proceedings have reached a legally final conclusion.In the paper, the authors focused on highlighting only a few of the omissions they frequently encounter in their work judges involved, specifically those experts in the traffic technical profession, who provide expert opinions on traffic accidents in both criminal proceedings and compensation proceedings. The authors consider the discussed omissions significant for the actions of the police and judiciary, as they contribute to the efficiency of procedural authorities, particularly the courts, and reduce the costs of criminal proceedings.
