You Cannot Afford to Wait
In Virginia, hit and run is a criminal offense that may be charged as a misdemeanor or felony. The difference is in the details of the accident:
- Was the property unattended (no people in it)?
- Was the property attended (such as people in a vehicle)?
- Was anyone injured? Did you check on the people involved?
- Was the cost of the damage more than $1,000?
You must attempt to contact the property owner. You must also notify the police within 24 hours of the accident.
If you are convicted of a hit and run, you can be sentenced to as much as 10 years in prison. You may also pay a fine up to $2,500 and have your driver's license suspended. In addition to these penalties, you may also get six demerit points on your license if you are convicted.
