Attorney Fee Reimbursement for AAA members

In order to assure a fair hearing for members accused of certain traffic violations, the AAA Club offers an attorney's fees reimbursement service. The Club does not in any way practice law nor does it establish attorney's fees, since such fees will be dependent entirely upon the circumstances surrounding the particular case. The attorney must be chosen by the member and the attorney's fees must be paid in full by the member. The paid receipt should then be submitted to the Club for consideration of reimbursement based on the reimbursement schedule contained herein.

The attorney's fees reimbursement service is strictly for the purpose of helping defray the costs incurred when a member retains the services of an attorney to assist in the defense of charges of common moving violations resulting from the operation of a motor vehicle where the member feels unjustly accused, and desires a fair and impartial trial.

Schedule of Reimbursable Attorney's Fees (This schedule provides the maximum amount to be reimbursed per listed violation for regular AAA members, as well as for AAA members who have the additional benefit of AAA PLUS, provided all conditions for eligibility have been satisfied.)

Regular PLUS Members Members For defense of Reckless Driving or Endangerment, not exceeding 35.00 400.00

If appealed not more than additional 35.00 200.00

For defense of alleged moving violations of traffic laws, not exceeding 25.00 100.00

For lawyer's representation at hearings on suspension or revocation of license or registration by the Dept. of Motor Vehicles, up to 0 100.00
