Hit & Run

Serious Defense for a Serious Charge

Facing Hit & Run Charges? What You Need to Know:

Hit & run charges in California carry steep consequences, from heavy fines and license suspension to jail or prison time. If the incident involves injury or death, penalties increase dramatically, making immediate legal representation essential to protect your future.

What Are Hit & Run Crimes?

Hit & run occurs when a driver leaves the scene of an accident without stopping to provide identification or aid. Even if you were unaware of the collision or feared immigration or legal consequences, prosecutors may still pursue severe charges.

Potential Penalties Include:

  • Fines up to $10,000
  • Jail or state prison time
  • Community service requirements
  • Driver’s license suspension
  • Vehicle impoundment
  • Enhanced penalties if injury or death occurs
