A hit & run lawyer is needed if you or a loved are facing this type of offense. Recently, a Ridgewood man hit a utility pole and thereafter left the scene. Glen Rock police were tipped off by witnesses that said they saw the man’s 2010 Dodge Charger hit a pole in a shopping center. The defendant then backed up and drove away. Supposedly the defendant was swerving to avoid hitting a fox. The car, after smashing it into a pole, was badly damaged to the point that one tire was flat and had sparks coming out of it. The defendant was charged with leaving the scene of an accident (hit & run), and failure to report an accident.

A hit & run offense is a serious offense. If a defendant is convicted for a first offense hit & run, they can lose their license for up to 180 days. That’s six (6) months without being able to utilize your driving privileges. In addition to this, a judge can, but likely won’t, sentence you or your loved one to potential jail time.
