Having handled Thousands of Criminal Traffic Cases in all the Courts of Northern Virginia, we understand how critical your job and/or security clearance are to your livelihood and your family. If you are convicted of Hit and Run, you are facing not only significant jail time and a substantial fine; but you will also receive a Permanent Criminal Record with the FBI and Homeland Security and you could potentially lose your job; your security clearance; future employment opportunities; demerit points on your DMW record; the loss of your driver’s license; and your future.

In order for the Commonwealth to prove FELONY Hit and Run, they must prove:
1. That you were the driver of a vehicle which you knew was involved in an accident; and
2. That the accident either:
- a. Caused personal injury or death to another; or
- b. The value of the damage was $1000 or more; and
3. That you knew, or should have known either:
- a. That another person was injured by the accident; or
- b. That the value of the damage was $1000 or more; and
4. That you failed to do any of the following:
- a. Stop immediately as close to the scene of the accident as possible without obstructing traffic; or
- b. Render all reasonably necessary assistance to any person injured in the accident; or
- c. Report your name, address, driver’s license number and vehicle registration number immediately to the State Police or local law enforcement agency; or to the person struck and injured if such person appears to be capable of understanding and retaining the information; or to the driver or some other occupant of the vehicle collided with; or the custodian of other damaged property.
If you are found guilty of a Felony Hit and Run, the punishment can be very severe. Hit and Run is a CLASS 5 FELONY, punishable by up to 10 YEARS IN JAIL! If there was no injury to the other driver and the value of the damage is under $1000, then the Hit and Run is a CLASS 1 MISDEMEANOR, punishable by up to 12 MONTHS IN JAIL and a fine of up to $2,500, or both.
