What is a Hit & Run crime?
The criminal act of hit and run occurs when a person who is involved in a motor vehicle accident leaves the scene without properly identifying them self.  According to the law, all people who are involved in car accidents must identify properly identify themselves if they injure another person or cause damage to another person’s property.  If a person fails to identify them self and leaves the scene of the accident, he/she will be subject to criminal charges. 

California Hit & Run Legal Penalties
Before a person is sentenced for committing hit and run, the court will evaluate a variety of factors such as the nature of the accident, if any person was injured during the accident, the severity of the other person’s injuries (if any), cooperation with law enforcement, the extent of property damage, and if the defendant has any prior offenses on his/her criminal record.  If a person is convicted hit and run, he/she may be sentenced with:

• imprisonment
• large fines
• community service
• probation
• parole
