I was in an auto accident where my car was hit, but i was put at fault should i go to court?

If you were ticketed and don't defend yourself the ticket will be a part of your driving record. If your witness and you can't be organized and take charge of proving the facts of your case where the ticket is filed against you, in a timely manner, you will most likely have a driving record reflecting the wreck as it is currently reported.

I suggest that you consider fighting the ticket, since you are young and this may well adversely affect your insurance rates if you are convicted. I suggest you retain an attorney familiar with traffic ticket defenses. Your attorney will probably be in the best position to present you and your witness and prepare you both for trial testimony. It sounds like your passenger may need some handholding and preparation. Legal Disclaimer : Mr. Lundeen is licensed to practice law in Florida and Vermont.
