Can the bail bondsman sue the bonding person for the total of the bail bond?

I believe that the terminology used in the question is mixed up. The bailbondsman IS the bonding person. If the defendant he has posted bail for absconds on him, the bond he posted is forfeited to the court, and he certainly CAN sue both the defendant AND anyone else who signed the bail contract, for the recovery of his lost bond.Another alternative is for him to send a "bail-agent" (bounty hunter) after the defendant. If he returns the absconding defendant to the court, that is the only way he can recover his money from the court, but he still may sue to recover his costs of hiring the bail agent out to recover the absconder..

how do you know who posted your bail?

If the bail is paid through the bail bonding agency, contacting the bail bondsman responsible should provide you with the information. However, if the person providing the fund and collateral is not related to the inmate, the bail bondsman may not reveal the identity for the reason of privacy. For example, a criminal organization may wish to bail its agents through a proxy, without revealing its identity. If you are the victim of a crime and are interested in whether the crime perpetrator has been bailed, you may contact the police or district attorney's office. Lastly, for other cases where family members may have posted the bail, contact the clerk responsible for your case at the courthouse should be sufficient.
