What Happens To The People Who Use a Bail Bondsman To Get Out of Jail, But Then The Bail Bonds Company Goes Out of Business?

If nothing goes wrong, the defendant goes to court and finishes their case. Then the bail bond company had no further liability. But if the defendant violated bond conditions or misses court, then the court will try to go after the bail bond company for the full bond amount. But the court will not be able to collect. This is the only time that the surety company backing the bondsman will have to step up and cover the bond amount.
