Yes, you can sue the other party for damages even if you received a ticket from a police officer. A ticket is not an admission of fault, although you may certainly feel at fault. After all, car accidents are traumatic experiences; it’s jarring to be in a crash and then have an officer give you a ticket.
You won’t lose your ability to sue after getting the ticket itself, but you will lose that ability if you say or do the wrong thing. If you go to traffic court and plead guilty, the chances of being able to file a lawsuit and recover any money are slim.
You’ll be able to file a lawsuit and recover the maximum amount of compensation with the help of an experienced car accident lawyer in Chicago. For over three decades, Langdon & Emison has helped thousands of clients obtain the money they need after being in a car accident.
