What is the name of your state?IL
In March, I was in an accident. I received a ticket for no insurance and failure to yield (the officer put me at fault, which I am not) when I went to court since the other party involved did not show up, I only paid the insurance ticket and the judge dismissed the other ticket. Since the ticket that put me at fault was dismissed does that mean that I do not have to pay for the other party's damages because they failed to show up. Also, when I received a letter from the other party's insurance in the total damages they included the deductible; I thought the insured pay's that. Since the other party did not show up I could not go to trial to prove that I was not guilty.I assume that he got a notice to let him know of the court date. The judge asked for the other party and when no one answered. He said case dismissed.
Please advice
