1. The insurer's coverage of the damaged car depends on the nature of your coverage.
2. A court appointed attorney can be appointed if you are eligible. There is no should. Like any other group, not all of the practitioner's are equally able.
3. I believe that the consequences of this offense are serious enough that you would be foolish not to at least consult an attorney. The consideration of retaining a private vs. a court appointed attorney cannot be fully discussed in the space allotted.
4. Your next step is to consult an attorney, review the police report, discuss the events and make a preliminary decision about the subsequent steps.
