liability auto insurance is the minimum car insurance required by law. in the event of an at fault accident, liability property damage will be paid up to the policy limit for the other party’s vehicle and material damages. liability personal injury coverage will cover the medical bills, pain and suffering, and other costs associated with the auto insurance claim or settlement. liability usually comes bundled in packages like:
bodily injury 50,000/100,000
property damage 50,000
this car insurance policy would cover up to $50,000 per person for a total of up to $100,000 per occurrence. Property damage will be paid up to $50,000. any charges in excess of these limits can become the responsibility of the policy holder. individuals with property will usually opt for higher limits on liability insurance since they have expensive assets to protect.

traffic tickets can raise insurance premiums. moving violations such as speeding, running a red light, running a stop sign, or carpool lane violations can increase the insurance points (the insurance company’s internal rating system) that affect auto insurance rates.
here are the options after receiving a moving violation traffic ticket:
- pay the full fine and receive the dmv point resulting in an increase in car insurance rates.
- pay the full fine and pay the additional fee to go to traffic school if you qualify. then attend traffic school (this can be done online). the result is that auto insurance premiums should not increase since the point is not reported to the DMV.
- fight the ticket in person and have the judge decide the outcome without the officer present
- win: you may not pay a fine, or you may pay a small fine and get no points
- lose: you should ask for traffic school. you may be able to pay more in fines to receive no points-if offered this then take it! increased insurance rates can be more than this one time fee.
- fight the ticket in person and have the officer come in person to testify against you
- the officer doesn’t show up – you win! a small administrative fee or no fee, and no points since there is no conviction and no DMV points.
- win: you may not pay a fine, or you may pay a small fine and get no points
- lose: you should ask for traffic school. you may be able to pay more in fines to receive no points-if offered this then take it! increased insurance rates can be more than this one time fee.
- fight the ticket by mail
- no response from the officer or the officer does not respond on time: you win! no fee and no DMV points.
- win: you may not pay a fine, or you may pay a small fine and get no points
- lose: you may pay a fine or a reduced fine and traffic school is usually offered if eligible. take traffic school to retain the cheapest auto insurance.
- lose: you can request to have a trial with the officer present (see above).
the best odds of beating a traffic ticket start with the trial by mail first. the option still exists to call in the officer for a full traffic violation trial in front of a potentially different judge if the results from the trial by mail are not good enough. the trial by mail can result in a DMV traffic point conviction with a reduced fine which may be an acceptable outcome.

DUI tickets are very serious and should be treated as such. a DUI conviction can be a misdemeanor or even a felony depending on the circumstances of the situation and the local laws. the DUI arrest becomes public record even though a conviction has not occured. sounds like a case of GUILTY before proven INNOCENT. this arrest and subsequent potential punishment will be part of the suspect’s criminal record.
once the arrest is made the records are public and instantly available to local lawyers. the person that was suspected for driving under the influence is contacted by various attorneys and law firms, usually through the mail. time is of the essence since several things must be dealt with:
- dmv hearing: there is a chance that the suspect can get his or her driver’s license back after the dmv hearing if the dmv decides that the suspect is innocent. this trial is completely separate from the criminal DUI trial at the courthouse. this hearing can be scheduled quite soon from the date of the arrest so deciding if a DUI lawyer’s services are needed and which DUI attorney to choose is important.
- initial court hearing: the defendant will talk to the provided public defendant if their own attorney is not provided. based on the DUI case details, the public defendant will likely give the defendant his or her options and the potential outcomes. the public defendant may also let the defendant know that a certain outcome is highly likely since they have worked with the judge and district attorney for so long. a deal can be made with the DA. the defendant can request time to acquire their own attorney if they are not satisfied with what the public defender has to say.
- enter plea: after meeting with the public defender or DUI lawyer the defendant will be asked to enter a plea of guilty, not guilty, or no contest. if a deal has been made with the prosecuting attorney then the outcome of the case will be stated here. the actual conviction (if any), any fines or fees, jail time, probation, and/or rehabilitation programs will be determined.
- DUI trial: many DUI cases do not go to trial because it can get extremely costly to the defendant. depending on the circumstances a deal can be struck between the DA and the defendant’s lawyer that may be acceptable to both parties. if the case does go to trial then the jury must be selected and so on and so forth.
retaining a dui lawyer is not necessary beneficial in every case. all factors must be considered when determining if a DUI lawyer will be needed. some things that can happen if convicted with a DUI charge:
- auto insurance premiums increase by a high percentage
- inability to stay with the current auto insurance provider
- criminal record: jail time served will show up in background checks, even if time for the drunk tank is credited and the defendant does not go to jail
