What happens if I was charged with leaving a scene of an accident?

  • If somebody was killed, it could be an indictable offense.
  • If somebody was injured, the penalties could be rather severe.
  • If you are in an accident, you either need to give your information to the person you’ve had an accident with or to some witness that’s there.
  • If there is nobody there, it’s important that you drive immediately to the police department and let them know that you were involved in this accident so that you don’t pick up this charge.
