I had people thru out my career say to me about how much the ticket was going to damage their bank accounts that I gave them. But, on issues where there is some responsibility or liability on their part. I would say this xxx dollar ticket is nothing compared to a civil lawsuit, hope it does not happen but, can. When someones thinks or says you were careless, reckless or neglect the more you have the more someone will try to get it. I have been to several big time crashes that later had me and all involved giving testimony and those words get used. If you have knowledge or not that your vehicle or combo of vehicles was used unsafely and hurt someone you may need to get lawyers to help, around here they want about 10,000 up front to help you. Insurance will help but in the big cases most folks do not have enough and they might be on they own.
