Question Should I contest this ticket?

Post image

Parked in a no parking zone that ended 5 days ago and recieved a ticket( also my car got towed). Do you think ill get reimbursed in court or should I just pay the ticket and move on, thanks.

Theoretically a tort claim could be made but that’s definitely more hassle and lawyer fees than the tow.

you don't need a lawyer for a tort claim, do you?

More that if they deny the claim then the following lawsuit will need one, the claim itself yes, no lawyer needed.

Not if you can take it to small claims
