What is Leaving the Scene of an Accident?
Leaving the scene of an accident, also known as hit-and-run, occurs when a driver involved in a collision fails to stop and fulfill their legal obligations. These obligations may include providing identification and insurance information to the other parties involved, reporting the accident to law enforcement, and ensuring any injured individuals receive necessary medical attention.
Leaving the scene of an accident is a serious offense because it deprives the victims of the collision from receiving the immediate assistance and compensation they may be entitled to. It can also hinder the subsequent investigation conducted by law enforcement to determine fault and hold the responsible party accountable.
The Legal Consequences
If you have been charged with leaving the scene of an accident, the legal consequences can be severe. The specific penalties vary depending on the jurisdiction, extent of damages or injuries, and previous convictions. However, possible consequences may include:
- Fines and restitution
- Driver's license suspension or revocation
- Increased insurance premiums
- Points on your driving record
- Probation or community service
- Possible jail time
