If you hire a lawyer, I could file a motion to quash/recall the warrant because of your non-willful failure to appear. You could also surrender.
Contacting an experienced trial attorney would be of benefit. The lawyer can contact the judge and petition him to lift the bench warrant so that you can go to a hearing and explain your reason. But, don't wait.
Either try to get the warrant recalled or make arrangements to post bail and surrender. When the case does get to court, you will need to negotiate or try it. I offer a free initial consultation.
