When a person is accused of a crime, arrested and then released on bail through the purchase of a surety bond, they are promising both the bail bonding company and the courts that they will make all of their scheduled court appearances, including their judgment day.
If they fail to do so, their bail is forfeited automatically and a warrant is issued for their arrest.

The bail bonding company where the bond was purchased, such as All American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita, will immediately try to locate the defendant and return them to custody.
The reason for the bail bonding company’s vested interest in finding the defendant is because they must pay the full amount of the bond to the court if the defendant is not located within 180 days.
If this occurs, the bail bonding company will seek to be reimbursed in full by the person who signed the bail contract — called the indemnitor — whether that is the defendant themselves or a family member or friend.
In addition, any collateral that was used in the purchase of the surety bond may be lost to repay the bail bonding company in full if the defendant skips bail.
For these reasons, the bail agents at All American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita advise anyone considering being the indemnitor for a loved one to carefully evaluate if they believe there is a chance the person will attempt to skip bail.
