Do i need an attorney if I have been summoned to appear at general district court for “Failure to maintain lane of travel”?
What happened: I lost consciousness while driving and crashed. I was feeling perfectly fine and nothing like this had ever happened to me before. I was hospitalized and was given a pacemaker because my heart rate was too low. Do I plead innocent or guilty? Do I need an attorney? I should add that I have been asked to surrender my license for 6 months.

I suggest that you consult woth an attorney in your locality to assist you in the matter that you have written about. One can be found on attorneypages.com. It is not up to me to advise you how you should plead. Hence, consult with an attorney in your locality experinced in traffic matters.
