Accountability for the Driver Who Fled the Accident Scene

A driver who knowingly is involved in an accident resulting in injury or death to another person and does not remain at the scene is in violation of New Jersey law and may be subject to penalties of up to $5,000 in fines, 180 days in jail and other consequences, if the driver is later identified. Additionally, the driver can be financially responsible for personal injury and wrongful death damages.

If you were involved in an accident involving a driver who got away without making contact after a crash, there are often important clues at the scene of the accident that may enable law enforcement or investigators to track down the culprit:

Paint chips or other debris left behind by the offender vehicle in the hit-and-run car crash, motorcycle accident, pedestrian accident, car-bicycle accident or drunk driving accident
Tire skid tracks on the road
Eyewitness observations
Pictures taken by a bystander's cell phone
Surveillance cameras from surrounding businesses
Pictures from red light cameras
