Sí, recibir una citación de tránsito no le impide automáticamente presentar un reclamo por lesiones personales en Arizona. Una citación es solo un factor para determinar la culpa y no significa necesariamente que usted haya causado el accidente.
Por ejemplo, si fue citado por algo no relacionado (como conducir sin licencia) o fue citado incorrectamente en base a información incompleta, aún puede recuperar los daños si la negligencia de otro conductor causó sus lesiones. En algunos casos, proporcionar declaraciones de testigos, fotos o evidencia del vehículo puede ayudar a anular una citación o demostrar que no contribuyó al accidente.
Si resultó lesionado y citado en el mismo accidente, no asuma que tiene la culpa ni renuncie a sus derechos.
