I was issued a citation after having an automobile accident - Courts
Full Question:
I was involved in a one car accident that resulted because my tire blew. I was traveling when all of a sudden my car started to swerve. I hit the brakes because I didn't know what had happened. I tried to get the car to stop. When I applied the brakes the car swerved worse and went slightly into the left center lane. I managed to get my car back on my side but it was swerving so bad the car jumped an embankment and ended up in a drainage ditch. When the cop arrived he issued me a citation for crossing the left center lane and written on the citation under the heading accident he wrote, no. I was wondering if I hire a lawyer whether i can fight that in court? He told me that if my insurance paid to fix my vehicle they would dismiss it in court. However, my insurance company has decided to total my car. Should I consult a lawyer and fight this in court?

Answer:
If the facts are that the tire caused you to go into the center lane not sure why he would write a ticket and say no accident. Yes, you can fight this in Court.
