WHAT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CO-SIGNER INDEMNITOR IF THE DEFENDANT FAILS TO APPEAR?
An Indemnitor or Cosigner is a person who agrees to be financially responsible for the full amount of the bail bond in the event the defendant fails to make a court appearance and cannot be returned to court. An Indemnitor is responsible for paying any costs incurred as a result of the defendant missing a court date. If there is more than one Indemnitor on a bail bond, they are jointly and severally liable.
