Turn yourself into the police--hit and run is a crime.
This simply means that if you were involved in any type of accident and leave before authorities arrive, you have left the scene of an accident with out making a statement.
Well...you would probably be alright. it is illegal to leave the scene of an accident. the accident has to be reported if there is any significant damage to your vehicle.
If you are involved in the accident it is a crime to leave the scene, but if you are a witness or bystander there is no problem.
they should, as long as you report it soon
Then you've left the scene of an accident, and will be charged accordingly if you're caught.
The definition of leaving the scene of an accident is a person who flees an accident after being part of it. They drive off without giving insurance information or waiting for the police to arrive at the scene.
if u both left and someone is filing insurance claim, BOTH parties will get charged with Leaving the scene of an accident and may not be able to file insurance claim
should you not try to move accident victims from the scene.
There was an ambulance at the scene of the accident.
Just because they left, doesn't automatically make them at fault. The insurance company claims department will make the determination base on the facts of the accident itself, not about what happened afterward.
If they left the scene of the accident, then you don't have their name either ... need to have a name before trying to find out insurance information. Chances are, the person who "hit and run" has no insurance and probably was driving without a license and/or expired car registration. This is why insureds carry uninsured motorist coverage.
you can not leave the scene of a accident
