Q: On my way to work in the oil field and I live in Texas I was driving to rig through Louisiana and hit a gate no one
There to speak with had to get to rig but next day spoke with lady I fixed her gate but Caddo parish La filed hit and run against me. What can I do
A:
A Louisiana attorney should advise here, but your post remains open for a week and the clock is ticking on your answering the hit and run. You could reach out to local attorneys in Louisiana to discuss your response, and whether it could be handled without your appearance, since you're in Texas. If the lady you spoke with is willing to support your story, that could be useful in your defense. If you hire an attorney, it's possible they could ask her to sign an affidavit or some kind of brief statement about your good faith actions. Good luck
