Yes, private property does not obsolve you of your responsiblity.
Well I think you would for one it's a hit and runa and for second it's on private property
It's just like any other property-damage accident only the sign belongs to the state and is not private property. You must report the accident and exchange the same information you would if you hit a private vehicle or private property.
Yes my buddy was just charged for a hit n run where mailboxes were taken out.
Yes
doesn't matter if an accident was on private property. get a police report immediately. this will be used to determine fault, if any.
You are still at fault, no matter what.
If there door was already open then you are liable for the damage. It does not matter if it is on private property.
it might be considered as a hit and run or destroying private properity.
I'm not sure what the question is asking in regards to what was hit, but whether it be another car, a fixed object, or a pedestrian that you hit, the simple answer is you can be arrested and charged with leaving the scene of an accident. In the case of hitting another car, you can also be charged with damaging private property, reckless driving, etc. If you hit a person, fess up. Leaving that scene will cause you to be charged with a hit-and-run and if the person dies, you can be charged with vehicular manslaughter or even murder. Even if they don't die, very serious charges will come back on you when they catch you. And you can NEVER be certain that someone didn't see you!
Makes no difference what you hit. If you leave it is hit and run, or (in some states) 'leaving after colliding.' The fact that only non-moveable property was damaged is immaterial. If the mailbox wasn't just a private mailbox for the apartment, but happened to be an 'official' US Postal Service mailbox, you could, theoretically, be charged with destruction of government property.
The driver that hit the parked vehicle would be at fault.
