Q. Hi I missed my court date for a speeding ticket on the 13ath I'm in Florida and the ticket is from Adel Georgia. Help!

July 20, 2021

A: Call the court and ask them to reset the court hearing date. See if you an reach out to the prosecutor and work out a plea in abstentia.

Otherwise, find an attorney in the area who can handle that for you without you having to appear.

Q. Do Recklessness falls into intentional tort? If the driver was driving while being high but was careless?

June 22, 2021

A: Recklessness in Georgia is actually a criminal misdemeanor. If a driver is found to be guilty of recklessness they are usually found out fault which leads to liability on the part of the insurance company. A Reckless conviction may also help you get punitive damages in addition to actual damages or specials.

Now if the driver was high that may fall under a DUI/DWI which is also criminal in nature, but can lead to similar results in n auto accident.

Some common intentional tort claims include:

Assault;

Battery;

Wrongful death;

False imprisonment;

Defamation;

Malicious prosecution; or

Intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Q. If a bystander took pictures of an accident scene with fatalities shouldn't the accident scene have been secured better?

May 19, 2021

A: I am so sorry for your loss. Unfortunately, there is no cause of action against anyone for securing the scene. It is up to the first responders and police to investigate and preserve all evidence that they can. It gets into a really slippery slope if the bystander may have gotten there before the first responders and snapped the photos. Liability is the hardest element to meet here.
