Traffic violations might seem like minor bumps on the road of life, but if you’ve been involved in an auto accident, even a seemingly small traffic ticket can play a significant role in your personal injury case. While our firm does not handle traffic tickets directly, understanding how these civil infractions intersect with personal injury law is crucial for those affected by traffic-related incidents.

Understanding Negligence Through Traffic Violations

In personal injury law, negligence is often at the heart of the case. A driver’s failure to adhere to traffic laws—evidenced by a traffic violation—can significantly bolster a negligence claim. For instance, if a driver runs a red light and collides with another vehicle, the traffic ticket issued for running the light can serve as concrete evidence that the driver breached their duty to operate their vehicle safely.

The Intersection of Traffic Courts and Personal Injury Claims

Victims of auto accidents are sometimes subpoenaed to testify in traffic court cases related to the incident. This might sound stressful, but it’s a critical component of the legal process. Your testimony can influence the outcome of the traffic violation case and your personal injury claim. The findings from the traffic court can be used to establish fault in your injury case, potentially leading to a more favorable settlement or judgment.
