What do you if missed court because were in the emergency room?

If you missed court because you were in the emergency room, you should take the following steps:

1. Contact the court immediately. The first thing you should do is call the court and let them know that you were unable to appear because of a medical emergency. Ask to speak with the judge or court clerk.

2. Explain the reason for your absence. When you talk to the judge or court clerk, make sure to explain why you were in the emergency room. Provide any documentation you have, such as a hospital bill or discharge papers.

3. Request a new court date. If the judge accepts your explanation, they will likely reschedule your court date. Be sure to get the new date and time in writing.

4. Attend your new court date. It is important to attend your new court date. If you do not appear, a bench warrant may be issued for your arrest.

5. Bring your medical documentation. When you appear for your new court date, bring any medical documentation you have. This will help to support your explanation for missing your original court date.
