Hit and run accident in pa

Hit and run laws all over are being taken very seriously and that is rightfully so. While the rules in PA where this happened are likely very specific ( I do not practice in PA), as a general matter, leaving the scene after an accident is - at a minimum - frowned upon and is not a good practice. After the fact advise is like Monday morning quarterbacking, but I observe that in this instance your first phone call the night of the accident should have been to the police reporting the location of the lot, describing what happened and that to your knowledge there were no witnesses nor anyone hurt etc....

That said, you should not compound your mistakes by trying to fight this court situation without an attorney.

You can miss defenses and say the wrong things if you are not represented by an advocate as your attorney.

Good luck to you.
