What is a bail bond?

A bail bond is a document that allows for the temporary release of a person who has been accused of a crime and is waiting to appear in court. It requires that the person provide cash or property that will be given to the court if the accused individual does not return to court.

What is collateral?

Collateral is the assets that are accepted by the bail bond agent to ensure that the defendant will appear at the court appearance.

How can a bail agent help me?

A bail bond agent, also known as a bail bondsman, help to ease the financial burden for persons that cannot meet the amount set. The bail agent will put down the money for the bail in exchange for the defendant providing a certain percentage of the bail amount.

The agent is responsible for making sure that all the requirements are met and posting the bail so that the defendant can be released. The jail has strict procedure and will not allow anyone to be released if the proper conditions have been met.

For example, if a person is accused of a crime and the bail is set at $50,000, the person and their family may not have $50,000 to pay the court. They will approach a bail bondsman, who will then go to the court and accept liability for the money if the person does not appear at court. The bail bonds agent will usually require that the defendant give them a certain percentage of the bail in cash or assets to ensure that they will appear at court. If the defendant does not appear, then the bond agent will have to pay the court the $50,000.

What happens if I don't appear at court?

If you have already been bailed out of jail and do not appear at court, then the amount of bail will be forfeited to the court. A bail bond agent may try to recover their loss by litigation.
