QUESTION
Why do I have a summons and is there any way to settle this without going to court?
Asked on Mar 22nd, 2013 on Litigation - Pennsylvania
More details to this question:
I was on a road trip and I received speeding ticket and have a summons for the traffic infraction. The court house is over 4 hours from my home, and between school and work this is going to be extremely difficult. The only other ticket I've had involved paying a fine.

Call the court house and ask if you can settle this by mail.

Once you receive a summons, you are already in court, and must respond or lose your case by default.

Get a lawyer to appear before you and set it for trial. If the cop doesn't show you win.

You should hire a lawyer who may be able to handle it without you appearing.
