Have a Traffic Ticket? Don’t just pay the Fee
For many of us, driving is an essential part of daily life in the Las Vegas Valley. We rely on our cars to get to work, run errands, and visit friends and family.
With so much time spent behind the wheel, it’s almost inevitable that someone might make a mistake and receive a traffic ticket. Every year, thousands of drivers in Nevada are cited for various traffic violations.
When you receive a ticket, you have two options: pay the fine or contest the ticket in court.
Type of Traffic Violations in Las Vegas:
- Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
- Leaving the Scene of an Accident (Hit and Run)
- Vehicular Homicide / Vehicular Manslaughter
- Driving with a Suspended License
- Reckless Driving
DON’T JUST PAY YOUR TICKET. It’s time to consider the consequences of just paying the fine or exploring your legal options, with our team of Las Vegas ticket traffic lawyers.
By paying the fine, you are effectively pleading guilty to the violation, which will remain on your driving record for years and could increase your insurance premiums.
If you receive a ticket, it’s wise to consult our traffic ticket defense attorneys to discuss your rights and options.
Why Hire Bay Law When You Get a Traffic Ticket
If you forget about a traffic ticket or miss the deadline to address it, a criminal bench warrant can be issued. A judge may find you in contempt of court for failing to appear or resolve the ticket. Contempt charges can result in jail time, increased fines, or even additional criminal charges.
If you have a bench warrant due to a traffic ticket, it’s crucial to contact Bay Law Injury Attorneys immediately. Ignoring the issue can lead to a contempt charge on your record, which may impact other legal matters, including custody status in criminal cases.
Bay Law Traffic Ticket Lawyers can assist in resolving your traffic ticket violations. Their experienced attorneys will attend court appearances on your behalf whenever possible to defend against the ticket. For more information and a free consultation, call (702) 710-7000.

Moving vs. Non-Moving
Violations in NevadaTraffic tickets in Nevada can be issued for either moving or non-moving violations.
Moving violations occur when a driver violates traffic laws while the vehicle is in motion. Points are generally assessed for these types of violations. Examples include:
- Drunk driving
- Speeding
- Running a red light or stop sign
Non-moving violations, on the other hand, typically involve parking infractions or issues with vehicle equipment. Examples include:
- Driving with broken taillights
- Parking in a no-parking zone
- Parking in a handicap space
When a driver receives a moving violation, the Nevada DMV records the offense and assigns demerit points to the driver’s license. Accumulating too many demerit points can lead to additional fines and penalties, including the suspension of the driver’s license. Insurance companies often review driver records and may increase premiums if they find any offenses.
People shouldn’t have to suffer long-term consequences for minor mistakes. It’s often beneficial to consult an experienced Nevada traffic ticket attorney before paying a ticket. Fighting the ticket in court may be the best option, especially with knowledgeable legal representation.
