Hit and Run is a common term used for Failure to Render Aid or Failure to Give Information. Depending on the specifics of your case you could be charged with a misdemeanor or felony. Even if the accident was not your fault, it is still against the law to leave the scene of the accident.

Furthermore, a major factor in determining whether you will be charged with just a misdemeanor or a felony is if someone was injured in the accident.

Even though we understand that there may be valid reasons for not stopping, in many cases when there is some type of injury the investigators will typically assume that the driver had a hand in the accident because he or she was impaired by alcohol or drugs. They will be looking to question you about this possibility, which could result in more charges such as a DWI or Intoxicated Manslaughter

Many of these investigators will try and ask you questions that could help build a case against you without you knowing it. The purpose of the law enforcement investigator is to find the evidence necessary to put the blame on somebody.

This is why it is crucial that you get in touch with an experienced criminal defense attorney immediately and do not speak to any of these people without the proper guidance from your lawyer, who truly has your best interest in mind.
