Q: Can I pay my fine without going to court?
I had got into a car accident that wasn’t my fault but I didn’t have insurance and license at the time but I have my license and insurance now and I have court in feb. since I don’t stay where I had the accident at can I just pay the fine and don’t go to court.
A: You can; however, sometimes, the Court may be more lenient if you gather the necessary documentation before your court date. I would also highly encourage you to speak with a lawyer concerning the wreck. If the wreck was not your fault, and instead was caused by someone else, then that may mean that you are entitled to compensation for the damage to your vehicle and any injuries that you may have suffered.
