What Is a Hit And Run Charge?
A hit and run charge is typically a type of legal charge brought against someone accused of breaking hit and run laws. These laws may often vary from country to country, and within the United States (US) are determined by individual states rather than federal law. In general, however, a hit and run charge is typically brought against someone accused of performing a hit and run. This may be a felony or misdemeanor. A hit and run charge can often be accompanied by other charges as well, depending on the nature of the accident. Many countries and states establish a hit and run statute as a responsibility for anyone directly involved in an automobile accident with another person or person’s property to stop and report the accident to the person. A hit and run charge will typically be brought against anyone involved in an accident and does not stop to ensure others are not injured and to report the accident. Some areas also have laws requiring that an accident be reported to police, as well
