About motor vehicle crimes

If you are involved in any kind of accident that involves damage to property or injury to another person, you must stop, try to help and call 911 to report the accident and get help for any injuries. You must also exchange contact and insurance information with the other drivers involved, and file all necessary reports.

Among the most life changing things that can happen to someone, being charged with a crime is one of the most upsetting, and a motor vehicle crime especially so.  Usually the person has not been charged with a crime before. Often the event happened unexpectedly, due to a lapse in judgment or a momentary distraction.  And due to the nature of these situations there can be multiple charges filed, in addition to the most serious one.  Stress and emotions often run high.  It is very important to try to remain calm and take things one step at a time.
