Why It Pays to Fight a Ticket
Paying the fine is a guilty plea. The conviction lands on your driving record, where your insurer will find it, and premium increases usually cost far more than the ticket itself over three to five years. In many cases a ticket can be reduced or resolved in a way that protects your record.
The math is simple: a short free phone call now versus years of higher premiums later.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I just pay the ticket?
Paying a ticket is pleading guilty, and the conviction goes on your driving record where insurers can see it. Before you pay, find out what it will actually cost you over the next several years. A short call is free and may save you real money.
Will I have to appear in court?
In many Louisiana courts an attorney can appear on your behalf for routine traffic matters, so you may not need to take a day off work or drive across the state. We will tell you up front whether your court requires a personal appearance.
Does Louisiana have a points system?
Louisiana does not use a driver's license points system, but convictions still appear on your driving record and can raise insurance rates or, in some cases, put a license at risk. Handling the ticket properly is still worth it.
