Were you charged with hit-and-run in upstate New York?

Seeing your kid make a hit and run for the bases is a fun way to spend an afternoon. Less fun is the dealing with consequences from a different kind of hit-and-run.

New York’s vehicle and traffic law section 600 covers leaving the scene of an accident, commonly called “hit and run.” In addition to fines that start at $338, being found guilty of leaving the scene of an accident means that your license will be revoked. It’s probably safe to say that nobody wants to be in that situation.

If you are charged with this serious offense, it’s important to talk with an experienced traffic attorney before making any decisions. That’s why there’s a free consultation available for traffic cases, just to help get your head around the options and likely outcomes of a case. We can also discuss legal defenses and strategies, based on what I know about the judge and prosecutor that will be involved in the case.
