Well let's look at this from a logical standpoint. Did you cause the accident by running a stop sign or did the other party cause it because they were speeding? If you had not run the stop sign would the accident have happened in the first place? The answer is obvious. You caused the accident by running the stop sign. If you had stopped as you should have, there would never have been an accident. Now the judge may access some blame to the other driver if it can be proven they were speeding, but the real cause of the accident was you not stopping.

Is there a statute of limitations on speeding tickets from 1994 in California?

Nope. Speeding tickets are notification that a violation has occurred. If you fail to pay them that doesn't let you off the hook. They can come after you as long as they have them recorded.


Will points be added to my Texas driver's license if I get a speeding ticket in New Mexico?

Yes. Both TX and NM are members of the Interstate Driver's License Compact. They notify each other about violations in their states and they assess points against driver's licenses for out-of-state convictions. Note: If you fail to take care of the NM ticket, your license in TX will be suspended until the ticket is cleaned up. Then, if you drive in TX, you can be cited and convicted of driving without a license and possibly more serious offenses.


Will a speeding ticket in CA affect driving record in MD?

Yes. Under the Interstate Driver's License Compact, California will notify Maryland of the conviction and Maryland will assess points on your license. If you fail to take care of the Cali ticket, MD will be notified and your driver's license will be suspended until the Cali matter is taken care of. Consult with an attorney because there may be other ramifications to your MD license based on the type of offense, etc.

Can you sue the New York City Marshal's Office for a motor vehicle accident?

It doesn't matter if who hits you or for what reason (speeding police car) they are responsible for the repairs on your car if they were at fault. Treat this matter as if it were any normal person that hit you. There is no need to sue. The Q didn't say why NYC Marshal's Office is involved. If the marshal was directing traffic and caused the accident, then the city may be liable for damages and injuries caused by his or her actions. If the marshal was driving a vehicle involved in a collision, then there are numerous other questions of liability; for instance were emergency lights and siren working; did the other driver fail to properly yield to an emergency vehicle; was it at an intersection or elsewhere; what kind of intersection and did the marshal stop before proceeding? If the marshal were running after a suspect and caused a collision by running into traffic, then there may be a justification and the marshal will not be found liable.


Will points from a speeding ticket in Colorado transfer to home state of California?

Definitely yes. Both states are members of the Interstate Driver's License Compact. They report convictions to each other and assess points on the home license. They also report if you fail to take care of the Colorado ticket and your Cali license will be suspended. Then you can get in big trouble for driving anywhere and your auto insurance will be no good.

What are the four elements to prove negligence?

Actually, there are four elements of a negligence claim: 1) duty; 2) breach of duty; 3) causation; and 4) damages. In short, if you breach a legal duty and cause damages to someone else or their property, then you may be held liable for negligence. Whether a duty exists in a particular circumstance is a question of law for the court and depends on many factors. For instance, the driver of a car has the duty to use reasonable care in the operation of that vehicle. Breach of that duty resulting in a car accident can make you liable to the other person for any resulting injuries or damages. So if you follow too closely and rear end the car in front of you, then you would be liable. This is because the courts have recognized the duty of every driver to pay attention and keep a safe distance. However, if you are a passenger and fail to warn your driver of stopped traffic up ahead, you would not be liable because the courts do not recognize a duty of a passenger to aid in the driver's operation of the vehicle.
