If a person is sick and can't go to court what should they do so they don't get warrant for their arrest

both would be sufficient. the court MUST give you the benefit of the doubt... but if it becomes a habit... as in more than once or twice, the judge may take action.

Call the court clerk asap, or have someone show up for you and explain the situation to the judge.

if they were in the hospitol they would easily be able to prove that with a reciept for care that day.
If they were just plain sick, they better call the judges office and speak to the secretary. If they say you better come, lick everything when you get there, in the judges office of course. (not all over the courthouse.)

If you were in the hospital then yes, you need to call asap and they will probably want a dr.s excuse.. its really up to the judge as to what action they may take.

If you have a lawyer, send him to court. If you don't, you should, but if you don't just call the courthouse and explain the situation. Be prepared to show proof when you finally do go to court.

if you have a lawyer, you will want him or her to go to the judge
and explain the situation,.....

call the courthouse and explain the situation. when you are released from the hospital go immediately to courthouse with the paperwork from the hospital the release papers should have your admitting time as well as release time marked on them. ask the court to reschedual.

Call the courthouse, and talk to the people in the judge's office who is going to hear your case, and explain the situation. If you have to, go to court sick.

If you have an attorney, call him/her and have them report to the court your status.

If you don't have an attorney, call the court clerk, explain your situation, and provide proof (by fax if possible) of your hospital stay. The report from the doctor and the hospital admittance record should suffice.

go to court as soon as you can and turn yourself in and explain to the judge. that is your best option.

you should call the court as soon as possible.. When you call them tell them the situation and ask for a continuance!

Even if you are at the point of death you had better SHOW UP for court ! Too many people try to get out of court appearences by this method . I once heard a Judge say the only acceptable reason for not appearing is DEATH !

I suggest you get in touch with your lawyer who can contact the correct people and be prepared to have medical documentation to prove to the court you had an illness bad enough to prevent you from attending court. Just calling there does not assure your information will reach the right party
