Hit and run accidents are defined as being involved in an accident in which a driver’s vehicle collides with another car, pedestrian, or stationary object and flees the scene. In Washington D.C. and the states of Maryland and Virginia, the law requires that you stop and remain at the accident location if it resulted in injuries, death, or an impaired vehicle that can not be moved on its own. If you are involved in this type of accident, you need to remain at the scene until your information can be exchanged with the proper authorities.
The first thing to do is remain on the scene and call 911 so that the police and any emergency personnel can respond as soon as possible to the accident. Once you are safe and the help is on the way, if possible, it is best to take photos of the vehicle at fault or take down a description of the car. Also, take pictures of your vehicle get contact information from any witnesses that might be available. You will also want to report the accident to your insurance company and find out from the responding police officer how to obtain the accident report. If you feel that you may have sustained an injury or have any pain at all, it is also recommended to see a medical professional as soon as possible to document those injuries.
