After an accident in North Carolina, there are certain procedures that must be followed. If you leave the scene of an accident, you could be charged with a hit-and-run crime for failing to properly follow these procedures. At the Law Office of Jason H.

If you are facing a hit-and-run charge, we have the skills required to properly defend your rights in court.
We have been assisting clients with their criminal defense since 1995. Our experience allows us to have a firm understanding of the procedures and court rules throughout North Carolina. Contact a Mecklenburg County attorney for more information regarding your hit-and-run violations.
Leaving the Scene of an Accident in the Charlotte Area
There are many concerns for individuals charged with a hit-and-run violation or leaving the scene of an accident. We are familiar with how to defend you against many criminal consequences, including:
- DMV points toward your driver's license
- Probation
- Jail
- Increased insurance rates
- Fines
You can be charged with a hit-and-run violation if you have struck a person with your vehicle, hit city property and left the scene or hit an unoccupied car and did not leave a proper note. We will be by your side to explain all of your defense options and answer any questions you may have related to any criminal charges you face.
Fighting Felony and Misdemeanor Hit-and-Run Crimes in North Carolina
If you have caused personal injury during a hit-and-run, you could be facing felony charges. Felony charges carry much more serious consequences than misdemeanors and can impact your future greatly.
Our attorneys are familiar with the many defenses to these charges and can even seek to have a Prayer for Judgment Continued. If a Prayer for Judgment Continued is granted by a judge, you may not incur any insurance increases or DMV points toward your license. We can also use this defense strategy with any traffic violations you may be charged with.
