Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating complaints from D.C. residents regarding unfair traffic ticketing practices.
Reported Issues:
Consumers report:
- The delayed or inadequate notice of alleged traffic violations
- Being fined for going exactly 11 mph over the speed limit despite D.C.’s cameras being calibrated to have a margin of error of 1 mph
- Receiving fines that are double the amount originally owed for failing to pay a ticket within a certain period of time
- That the District recently installed stop sign cameras that may generate multiple tickets before residents receive their first ticket in the mail, causing residents to unknowingly accrue hundreds of dollars in fines before becoming aware of the camera or the alleged violation
Why Individuals Should Be Concerned:
Potential claims include:
- Economic loss
- Insufficient proof
- Insufficient notice
- Fine doubling
Signs You May Be Affected:
- You received a traffic camera ticket that you believe was issued unfairly
- You received notice of a traffic violation weeks after the alleged incident occurred
- You accrued multiple tickets from the same camera before receiving your first notice in the mail
- Your ticket involved an allegation that you were driving exactly 11 mph over the speed limit
- Your ticket amount doubled after you were unable to pay the ticket within the required timeframe
