QUESTION
Can I sue my job for failure to pay a ticket on time, resulting in my license getting suspended?
Asked on Mar 24th, 2014 on Labor and Employment - Georgia
More details to this question:
I have a commercial drivers license. On October 23 last year, I received an overweight ticket in my work vehicle. My job is responsible for paying the ticket. The ticket was paid late and that resulted to my license getting suspended on December 2. I was working and pulled over for a truck inspection, the office informed me that my license was suspended. I was placed under arrest. When I got out of jail, I contacted DMV, and they said that my license was suspended for a ticket. They gave me the citation number and it was the ticket my job paid late.

Probably. Has your employer taken care of the overall matter? Contact an attorney or file a small claims action in your county circuit court if the amount is under $10,000.

Not likely you will win this one. Payment of a ticket is your legal obligation.
