Leaving the scene of an accident

Leaving the scene of an accident or failure to report an accident are two offenses that are often charged in New Jersey. When an individual is involved in an accident, irrespective of how minor it was, they are obligated to contact the police and when they contact the police, that’s a failure to report. They also can be issued a summons for leaving the scene of an accident. That’s much more serious and if the damage to a vehicle is anything more than a few hundred hours or someone was injured; you are looking at loosing your license.
