Motor Vehicle Accidents -Traffic Ticket Facts

Receiving a Traffic ticket as a result of a motor vehicle collision or accident means that a police officer has attended an accident scene, investigated your accident and determined that you have made a driving error and are at fault in the accident.

If you pay the traffic ticket as a result of an accident you are accepting this fault determination by the police officer. Your insurance company usually bases their fault determination from the police officers report. As such your insurance company will penalize you on your insurance rates for two reasons.

Having received "two strikes" against your insurance, your insurance company will consider raising your insurance rates.

If your matter goes to trial and the Justice of the Peace determines at the trial that the accident was not your fault, you can take transcripts of the Justice's decision to the insurance company. With a Justice's determination of fault, your insurance company may be obligated to remove the accident entirely from your record.

It is important to have a trained legal person review your case to give you the best opportunity at reducing or even reversing "fault determination" for your traffic ticket.

When Insurance rate increases can occur for up to six years, fighting your traffic ticket could save you thousands of dollars.
