New Jersey
Situation: Motor vehicle accident resulting from "failure to observe stop or yield signs" (NJ 39:4-144). Probable plea: Guilty (because it is a 2 point offense).
There were, unfortunately, vehicle damages and minor personal injury that resulted from the accident.
My question: how do we ask the judge to "seal" or "mark" the plea and verdict that it cannot be used in any civil suit that may come out of this? It does not appear that any civil action is being pursuied, but I'd feel better protecting ourselves in this way.
