Is bail money returned when the accused gets dismissed?
it depends if you paid in full bail, or a percentage of the bail. If you go to court and your'e case is dismissed all your bond money will be returned if you paid in full. if you paid through a bondsman he will keep the percentage of the bail. Depending on what your bail is set at depends on what percentage the bondsman keeps. example you bond is $3000 you paid the jail that 3000. you would get that all back. but if you used a bondsman he would keep 300 of that 3000 which equals 10% Hope that helps
How much of the 10 percent does the bail agent give the bonding company?
There are several types of bail agents or bondsmen as they are commonly called. The most common bondsman works unders a surety (insurance) company. They are licensed insurance agents. The bondsman will pay any where from 10 to 20% of the bail bond premium fee , ( the 10% of the face value of the bail bond), they collect from a client, to their surety company. In other words, the bondsman gets to keep 80 to 90 percent of the bail bond premium fee they collect. The rest goes to the surety company. Another type of bondman is a professional of property bondsman. In this case the bondsman pledges real property with the state of county that they wish to operate in, as collateral to gaurantee that they can pay off any bond they write if the defendant skips bail. This bondsman, keeps the full amount of the bail bond premium fee that he or she collects. The last and least common type of bondsman is one that pledges cash or securities with the state or county they operate in in. Again, this collateral is used to guarantee the ability of the bondsman to pay off a bail bond if the defendant fails to appear and can not be located and returned to court or jail. Since this bondsman is pledging his or her own money, they keep the full amount of the bail bond premium fee collected. The term bondsman is gender neutral. Slightly over half of the bail agents in the U. S. are women.
How does a bail bondsman earn money?
In much the same way as an insurance company earns money. A bail bond is basically an insurance contract paid for by an arrested person to get out of jail before trial. The person pays a premium for the bond based on the amount of the bond. If the person shows up for trial, the bondsman keeps the premium. But, if the person skips town the bondsman will have to forfeit the entire amount of the bond to the state of federal government. It works like life insurance only instead of the insurer/bondsman paying the face amount of the policy on the death of the insured, the bondsman pays it on the faiure of the person to show for trial.
