As a result of the increase in the number of automobiles being driven on California’s roadways, accidents are common place. Traffic ticket violations may be issued for infractions, which are typically minor and may result in only the payment of a fine. However, some traffic violations may be classified as a more serious misdemeanor or, even, a felony, such as “hit and run.” This occurs when the offense involves injury to a person or destruction of property and the driver leaves the scene of the accident.

A “hit and run” violation may result in your being charged even if the accident was not your fault. This violation can result in the loss of your license, points on your driving record, warrants, probation, fines and jail time.
