QUESTION
What will happen to me for driving while suspended even though I didn't cause the accident?
Asked on Mar 18th, 2013 on Automobile Accidents - North Carolina
More details to this question:
I was rear ended by another vehicle while I was at a complete stop in traffic. The driver who rear ended me was texting on his phone. Two days after the accident, I found out my license was actually suspended for not paying a traffic ticket off completely. I was making my monthly payments but it wasn’t paid off. What will happen to me for driving while suspended even though I didn't cause the accident?

You might get a citation for driving on a suspended license, which you can probably negotiate. It should not harm your personal injury case.

If you get caught while driving on a suspended license, you will pay a stiff fine, and you may very well go to jail. That will also increase the time that you are without a license. A bad gamble, in my opinion.

You might get a ticket, but it won't affect the liability of the other driver.

If you had been paying your monthly payment and were current, then nothing should happen to you.

You may have a criminal violation you will have to answer to if you were cited for driving without a license. This fact has nothing to do with the accident. It is clearly the other person's fault, and you would be able to make a possible claim regardless of your license situation.
