Las Vegas Hit and Run Accident Lawyer

If you are the driver of a motor vehicle that was involved in an accident where there was bodily injury or death, you have a duty to stop at the scene and remain there until help arrives. If you fail to stop, you could be charged with felony hit and run, which carries a 2 to 15 year prison sentence. If you are involved in an accident where there was just property damage, you may be charged with misdemeanor hit and run. This carries a potential jail sentence of 6 months.

Most people that are involved in a hit and run ask us the following questions:

• Will the police know it was me if I didn't stop?
  
• The police said I need to go down to the DMV to make a report. Will you go with me? Will I be arrested?
  
• What should I tell the police?
  
• I was driving someone else's car. Will the police find me?
  
• My car was impounded. How do I get it back?
