Failing to respond in time could lead to your driving privileges being suspended or revoked, and you may even be found guilty in your absence. Additionally, you could face increased insurance premiums for years and be hit with a mandatory $300 driver’s assessment fee. In many cases, hiring a lawyer can help you avoid these consequences.
