New Jersey Leaving the Scene of an Accident Attorney

In New Jersey, leaving the scene of an accident is normally a motor vehicle offense handled in municipal court. However, if the accident results in serious bodily injury to the victim, the charge is elevated to a third degree felony. Even worse is that the normal presumption against imprisonment that first offenders enjoy does not apply. Thus, there is a good chance that the defendant will go to prison if convicted. Regardless of the circumstances of the charge or the location of the court, our New Jersey defense attorneys will fight for you to achieve the results you want for you and your family!
