Leaving the Scene

FL Lawyer for Leaving the Scene of an Accident

Helping Florida Clients Beat Tickets & Legal Consequences for Hit and Run Defense

Leaving the scene of an accident is a crime that occurs when an individual is involved in a motor vehicle accident involving property, injury, death or any combination of the three, and leaves the scene without providing important information such as:

Driver's name and license.
Driver's address.
Driver's car registration and car insurance.
When an injury or death is involved, the driver must also attempt to provide necessary support in access to urgent healthcare.

Failure to report damage to property is also encompassed by this violation. Leaving the scene of an accident is also known as a hit and run.

Violation of this state law can result in serious penalties, prison time and out-of-court consequences that can last for years to come. You may be able to dependably face down leaving the scene charges with the assistance of a skilled Florida traffic ticket attorney, such as Golden Traffic Ticket Law.

"Great Results"
I had received a ticket during an accident. I contacted Golden Traffic Ticket Law offices. They explained the process and to be patient that the process did take time to go thru court system. They would update me periodically to let me know where in the process we were and if anything new had come up. I was then notified that the issue was clear up and no points, no community service and best of all no fine and no court costs. I would contact them again with out hesitation if I need them.
