Driver's License Suspended?

Involved in a vehicle accident with no insurance?  Has a Judgment been entered against you?  Has your driver's license been suspended?  Florida Statute sec. 324.121 provides that your driver's license will be suspended by the Florida  Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles if you fail to satisfy the judgment entered against you. 

You have options. 

You can propose a payment plan with the insurance company and if you reach an agreement the insurance company will issue you documentation that can be provided to the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to release your suspension.  Many times the insurance company demands a high down payment or high monthly payments.  In that case Florida law provides a procedure by which you can petition the Court that entered the Judgment for a reasonable payment plan to satisfy the judgment.  This procedure does require supporting documentation and a possible Court appearance.

An additional option is to seek relief from the United States Bankruptcy Court.  You have a constitutional right to file for bankruptcy protection and the discharge issued from the Bankruptcy Court will allow you the right to demand the reinstatement of your driver's license.

Both of these options can be handled by an attorney who has experience in both state and federal court.  If your driving privilege has been suspended in the State of Florida and would like to fully explore your options contact The Tancredo Law Firm at (813) 659-3612.   We are offering telephone and video appointment.  www.tancredolaw.com
