Stay on the Scene

The first rule of automobile accidents is that you should never leave the scene. If the police are on the scene, wait until you are given permission to go. Before you go you should have the names of the police officers and make sure that they have taken down your version of the accident. If the police are not involved, you should wait until all relevant information is exchanged and both parties have reached an agreement concerning how to proceed. The consequences of leaving the scene of an accident are very serious, especially when the accident results in injury or death. Leaving the scene, commonly known as a “hit-and-run,” carries with it harsh criminal penalties.
