A: First off, notify your insurance agent ASAP in case there is a claim. Second, plead not guilty and find a lawyer.
Jeremy Wang and Juan Ooink agree with this answer
A: You should certainly appear on the court date on the ticket otherwise the Judge will order a judgment of conviction and place it on your permanent driving record. To contest the charges I would seriously consider hiring a Traffic Law attorney to assist you at trial, as the other person has a prosecutor on his side to present the case against you.
Juan Ooink agrees with this answer
A: Appear in court and see what happens. If the case is not dismissed, have the matter continued for trial and hire an attorney to assist you.
