Minnesota St Paul, I just need to know wether I can sue the company that gave me my ticket in Iowa for not notifying me for a suspended license?
Hello Daniel,
- Proving you paid the ticket will be important.
- You may be able to sue for damages, if you can prove the company acted negligently.
- Consult a lawyer for individual advice.
- Seek advice from your local bar association. They may offer free consultations.
If I can't sue for damages can I at least win in a court case if the company didn't notify me of my suspended license
Hello Daniel,
- To win a court case, you need to prove the company failed in its duty to inform you.
- Laws vary by state. In Minnesota, you could argue that the company's failure caused you harm.
- Consult a lawyer to discuss your options.
Thanks very helpful, last question is it my fault for not knowing I had a suspended license or the companies fault for not notifying me
Hello Daniel,
