In many states, including Georgia, it is a felony if you leave the scene of an accident. However, in Kentucky, it isn't a felony to leave the scene of an accident.
Addition: Since the question asks nothing about felony offenses. the answer is YES. the statute may be worded differently (e.g: 'Leaving after Colliding,'or similarly) but it is unlawful in EVERY state to leave the scene of an accident without either notifying the authorities, or at least exchanging your identification and information with the other operator. Depending on the state, the degree of the offense can increase if there is death, bodily injury or major property damage.
Addition: Unless in Kentucky in that instance it is okay to leave the accident. So the answer would be NO if you are in Kentucky. Yes everywhere else.
