Is it a serious offense if I cross a state where my license is suspended?

More details to this question:
A family member rented a car for me. I crossed out of my home state where my license was suspended in Wisconsin. I got fines for $1,500 there, and had and accident in Du Page county where my car was impounded with some damage to both cars. I received a ticket and court date that's all. Is this serious or minor?

This is serious, this is NOT minor, because you had an accident in DuPage County, & you shouldn't have been driving there at all since your license is suspended, this is not just a "traffic" matter, you have a "Class A Misdemeanor" charge pending against you now. A skilled criminal defense attorney would need to discuss this matter with you in greater detail, & ask you many questions, in order to give you the complete, proper legal advice you need (& a quote to represent you).? Schedule a consultation ASAP. Once the matter has been resolved in court to your satisfaction (hopefully), you'll be glad you paid the money to hire an experienced attorney & properly protect your legal rights.
