Traffic Infractions

Traffic violations can vary depending on the circumstance.  When most people think about a traffic ticket, they may underestimate the consequences of that traffic violation under the law -it’s not “just a ticket.”  Traffic Violations have many consequences impacting your life outside of the court room.  You could lose your license, suffer from high insurance, lose your job, your freedom or everything you have worked for depending on the circumstances.  The officer’s conclusion to your traffic accident may leave you at fault and it may be difficult for you obtain a favorable personal injury settlement with a pending careless driving citation.
