What matters in your case

Driver identification

Vehicle ownership does not always answer who was driving. Witnesses, video, phone data, and statements may be involved.

Knowledge of the incident

The evidence may address whether the driver knew a collision occurred and whether it involved damage or injury.

Conduct after the event

Reporting, information exchange, medical aid, insurance contact, and later statements may affect the case.

Common questions

Should I call the investigating officer back?

You should not ignore lawful obligations or a court date, but get legal advice before giving a detailed statement about an active criminal investigation.

Does property damage make the case different from an injury?

Yes. Whether someone was injured can affect the charge and possible penalties. We review the accusation and evidence before explaining whether you face a misdemeanor or felony and what that means for your case.

What if I did not realize there was contact?

Knowledge can be a central factual issue. Vehicle damage, sound, movement, video, witness accounts, and statements may all be relevant.
