Legal Question in Traffic Law in New Jersey

Re: Careless driving-personal injury hurry! Court 1/19

It will not be easy pleading your particular careless down to a no-pointer. The threat of having a trial on the issue may help but there would be no guarantees that the prosecutor, the court and/or the victim would agree. If you need legal representation give me a call at 732-286-2170.

I would suggest that you go to court and ask for a postponement to retain an attorney. Please note if you plead guilty or are found guilty you are subject to points, fines and penalties. Seeking an advice of an attorney is always advisable. Please feel free to contact me.

Violation: N.J.S.A. 39:4-97 (Careless Driving) (with no accident involving personal injury)

Penalties: $50.00 to $200.00 fine plus Court costs; Points: 2

In general, the State has to prove you committed this offense, usually by the �beyond a reasonable doubt: standard. If they fail to prove the charge you cannot be found guilty. If you plead guilty or are found guilty you are subject to points, fines and penalties. Seeking an advice of an attorney is always advisable.

Call me for a free initial consultation.

Re: Careless driving-personal injury hurry! Court 1/19

What you will be able to plead to is controlled by what the prosecutor wants to do with the case and what the Judge will approve so I cannot answer whether you'll be able to plead to a no-pointer. While that reduction is common for a careless charge, it is impossible to tell what the outcome will be without completely reviewing the facts, talking to the victim, etc. I have some thoughts on it, but I will not post a long answer since it may already be too late and you may be at Court now.
If you havent gone to Court yet, or things didnt work out, however, and you would still like to discuss the matter and consider how an attorney may help, feel free to contact me via e-mail or telephone as there is no charge for consultations.

Re: Careless driving-personal injury hurry! Court 1/19

The prosecutor may or may not agree to amend the ticket to an unsafe operation ticket (0 points as opposed to the 2 points on a careless driving ticket). Since a person actually got hit by your car, they may not be willing to cut you a deal if you go alone. If you go with a lawyer your odds of getting the ticket amended to Unsafe Operation go up. I am an attorney who has handled many cases similar to yours in various courts throughout New Jersey in the past. I would like to discuss your case in more detail. Please call me at 908-272-0111 to discuss your case. There is never any charge for simply talking to me. Thank you. Sincerely yours, -Ronald Aronds, Esq.-
