It's not a comfortable situation. Sometimes, you are not even sure you hit something. However, the law says you are required to stop, give your name, address, and driver license number to an injured party or a police officer. If you leave the scene of an accident without doing so, you could be charged with Leaving the Scene of an Accident (commonly called Hit and Run). The police can charge you with an ordinance violation (in municipal court), or a Class A Misdemeanor (in state court). You can be charged with a Class D Felony if the accident resulted in personal injury to another party, property damage in excess of $1,000.00, or if you previously pled guilty to such a felony. If you have been charged with Leaving the Scene of an Accident, you do not want to go to court alone. Penalties range from a fine and points on your license to possible prison time and the loss of your driver license. We can help you try to minimize the penalties and keep your license. The attorneys at Hocking & Dulle will help you obtain a copy of the police report, contact the victim (if necessary), enter into a payment agreement (when applicable), and minimize the impact a hit-and-run may have on your license and your personal life.
