Attorney Daniel Davis fights for Client and Gets $22,000 More than “Final Offer.”

This Davis & Gelshenen LLP client, a passenger in a friend’s vehicle, sustained serious injuries when her driver collided with another vehicle.  The insurance company made a “final offer” that Attorney Daniel Davis and his client found unacceptable.  Attorney Davis filed a lawsuit, fought vigorously for his client, and ultimately recovered $22,000 more for the client than the previous “final offer.”  Attorneys at Davis & Gelshenen LLP don’t just settle for what the insurance company is willing to pay.  At Davis & Gelshenen LLP, the attorneys fight for what they believe is fair compensation for the pain, suffering, and disability their clients endure.

Should you contest an accident-related traffic citation?

If you are involved in an automobile accident and receive a citation, but you don’t believe the accident was your fault should you contest the ticket?

Ultimately, the decision is yours.  Some questions to consider are:  What are your chances of success if you do contest it? How much will it cost you?  Will you lose your driving privileges?  A lawyer can help you assess your situation.

If you decide to contest the citation, you are entitled to a trial.  If the case is to be resolved in municipal court, a judge will decide the matter.  If the case is to be resolved in circuit court, a judge also will resolve it, unless you immediately request a jury and pay the required fee.

If you decide that you do not want to contest the citation, and if someone else’s person or property was injured as a result of the accident, you should plead “no contest” rather than “guilty.”  A no contest plea, unlike a guilty plea, can’t be used against you later in a lawsuit.
