Q: Hello .... I was involved in an accident I was at a stop light when light turned green I proceeded a guy turning left
Hit me the police wrote the report saying I did not yield right of way I totally disagree can I fight this no ticket as of yet I live in Birmingham, al no one was hurt
A: The short answer is yes, you can fight the ticket. However, if the other party appears in court, the decision will ultimately be based on that parties word versus your word. However, if there was no personal injury it is quite possible unless the officer actually witnessed the accident, that the other party will fail to appear and the citation can be dismissed. You will need to retain an attorney to represent you in court or you will have to personally appear from out of state to do so yourself
