What happens if you’re out on bail and you miss court?

It happens.  People out on bail do happen to miss court.  Sometimes car troubles or family emergencies occur and you can’t make it to court on your court date.  So what to do?  Well first thing to do is call the bail bonds that you are out on bail with.  Tell them your situation and they can issue a reassumption for the bond and you can go to court the next day and take care of it.  Once a person out on bail misses court, the bail bonds and the indemnitor have 6 months to get the defendant back to court before the court demands the full bail amount to be paid.  It is always best to get someone back to court as soon as possible.  If you are the liable for the defendant and he or she is not willing to go back to court, it is your job to help the bail bonds company with any information on the whereabouts of the defendant.

Missing court does not have to be a big deal or the end of the world, there are simple solutions for the situation.
