I live in PA. This is a state where EVERY TICKET has added costs to the initial fees that are charged for whatever offense they charge you with. I used to complain about the ADDED FEES whenever I got a ticket. Not any more...
About 5-6 years ago I was the victim of an armed robbery where the perp gave me a severe concussion, several broken teeth, a broken nose and other damages. The paramedics transported me to the hospital (a 1 mile trip they billed me OVER $1500.00 for) and for the hospital visit I got a bill for over $3000.00 for an MRI and X-Rays (they didn't even keep me overnight).
The ADDED COSTS to ALL the tickets in PA paid for everything I would have been responsible for, including treatment at the Hospital and my Medical Transportation. Needless to say I could not afford for ANY OF THIS and still cannot.
I cannot begin to express my thanks to whomever came up with this idea to cover any ones medical bills, when they could not afford them. This was (and is) a god send.
So please, remember this whenever you get a ticket...
Thanks...
Joe...
