My husband and I were at the bar a few nights ago and ended up in a huge fight. He left and was walking down the road. I went after him in the car and ended up running into a flowerbed in front of a gas station while trying to go through to turn around. I parked my car down a side street and called someone to pick me up. The next evening, I went back to get my car and found that it had been towed, ironically, to the service station I had done the damage to. There is quite a bit of damage to my car and damage to the brickwork of the flower bed. My insurance company is handling the damage with the gas station and my vehicle, but I was given a citation for failure to report a personal property damage accident. I neither admitted, nor denied to the police that I had been drinking, although they are assuming I was.
I don't have any previous record or a poor driving record. What am I looking at, now? Can any action be taken against my drivers license for this? I know it is somewhat up to the judge's discretion as to the penalty, but am trying to get some idea so I am prepared. Do I need to retain a lawyer? I have never been in any kind of trouble and am quite scared.
