I was in an accident a in my friends car which he is driving. the other driver hit us on red signal and ran. Police caught the other driver at 100% fault. after 2 weeks I received a summon to attend the Ronaoke court. I live in north carolina. I went to Ronoake to visit my friend and I was in his car when met with accident. The summon says"Must attend hearing" Is it mandatory for me to attend the hearing?
A: If you are in the state yes. However even if outside of the state if you have an injury case you want to help your friend and yourself. Contact a member of the Va. Trial Lawyers Assn in Roanoake. They give free consults.
