Traffic tickets require the driver charged with the violations to appear in traffic court unless the charges result in a guilty plea and payment of a fine before the court date.. In more serious accidents resulting in serious injuries or death the traffic court and prosecutor typically will not accept a guilty plea in lieu of a court appearance.
Our Atlanta, Georgia law firm's interest in the serious traffic court case is to preserve testimony of the at-fault driver and witnesses by utilization of a court reporter.
In addition, we often assist the prosecutor by providing evidence in advance of trial from our investigation, as well as medical documentation on the severity of our client's injuries.
Our detailed work can make a difference in the outcome before the traffic court Judge. These prosecutors are overwhelmed and do not have the capacity to do a detailed investigation. A successful prosecution often can help in negotiations with the liability insurance company.
