Lawyers Defending Against Charges of Leaving the Scene

Free Initial Consultation - Call (908) 322-7000

If a car accident takes place, drivers cannot simply leave the scene. The police must be called. A police report needs to be filed. If these steps are not taken, a driver can be charged with leaving the scene of an accident. This is a serious charge that can result in penalties that range from loss of drivers license to jail time. At the law firm of Bramnick, Rodriguez, Mitterhoff, Grabas & Woodruff, our attorneys can fight to prevent or limit these penalties.

How Serious is Leaving the Scene of an Accident?

Traffic violations involving leaving the scene of an accident can vary in severity depending on the situation. Often, accidents are minor. The drivers involved simply get out of their cars, exchange insurance information and go on their way. Unfortunately, this is not the proper way to handle these situations. If another party reports the accident, the police will issue charges of leaving the scene of an accident.

These situations become much more serious when a driver leaves serious property damage or even a personal injury behind. These situations, also known as hit and run, can result in much more severe penalties.

No matter how severe the charges, you can be confident in our ability to take them on. We know the value of working with the opposition to negotiate a positive outcome. We also know that, sometimes, going to court to fight the charges is necessary.
