Scranton Hit – And – Run Defense Lawyer

The moment you are involved in a car accident, a number of thoughts run through your mind – who is at fault? Is anyone injured? Who do you call? In a moment of panic, some drivers drive away from the scene, which can result in a hit-and-run charge. Penalties for a hit-and-run can often be much harsher than anticipated, which is why it’s important to retain the aggressive representation you need to protect your future. In Lackawanna County, the firm to call is Thompson Law.

Firm founder William D. Thompson understands how invaluable a strong defense can be in this time of need. He was named a Top 100 Trial Lawyer by The National Trial Lawyers for two consecutive years and is a recipient of a 10 Best Award for Client Satisfaction by the American Institute of Criminal Law Attorneys.

Penalties For A Hit-And-Run Charge

After being involved in a car accident, you are required to stay at the scene under Pennsylvania’s “Duty to Stop.” Under the law, you must exchange the necessary information with everyone else involved. If the accident resulted in injury, you must call for medical attention.

Here are some potential penalties for a hit-and-run conviction:

  • If the accident resulted in property damage: One year in prison and $2,500 in fines
  • If the accident resulted in injury: Up to seven years in prison and a minimum of $1,000 in fines
  • If the accident resulted in death: Up to seven years in prison and a minimum of $2,500 in fines

As you can see, the stakes are high. That’s why you need an experienced attorney on your side.
