Hi Friends,
One of my friend had an accident in Baltimore MD. It was a small accident but the mistake was that he didn't stop at the scene. He was so nervous and couldn't decide what to do and kept on driving. There was another guy who was witnessing the accident and he was following him. After knowing that somebody is following, he stopped and cops came. Now the cops have given him the ticket of "Hit and Run". So what can he do now about this. He tried to convience the one whom hit but he is not listening anything. Also there was no injury to any one.

He will simply have to face the consequences. He needs to get a good lawyer ASAP.

That was  a big mistake , it happens and almost happened to me too. In the intersection I was going left on left lane, somebody tried to move from right lane to left lane and my car got big scratch and door got dent. I was about to give up , lady started accusing me made me change my mind. Saved my life and got money to fixed it.

Do you remember Dr. and his BMW? I

So far my understanding if your friend finds the witness and if the witness ready to give his statements may save your friend. Go to court and have the witness on that day, judge may give him warning and save the ticket and insurance.

One year ago one of my Indian friends had the same situation. I do not know how complicated is your accident. If it is just damage of property then don't panic but if you  hit a pedestrian or someone i can't say anything.

My friend's situation
He was driving with a learner permit not the driver license. His wife had license from India and she was sitting on the passenger seat. While parking the car, mistakenly he pressed gas instead of the brakes and the car hit the wall of the dry cleaners he was going to visit. He got nervous and left the scene but noticed that someone was writing his vehicle plate no. He came home and called me immediately and explained the situations and i showed him my anger about his leaving the scene. About fifteen minutes later, cops came to his apartment and gave him two tickets. #1 Driving without License #2 Leaving the scene of accidents.  As I suggested him, he pleaded not guilty and went to the court on the date specified. There his two tickets were converted into parking violations  and he had to pay almost total 400 dollars for these two tickets. Also judge ordered him to take some 6 hour driving class. The insurance company paid for the damage of the property. Nothing serious happened. My friend now has license and is doing fine.

Therefore if your accident is something like my friend's, just plead not guilty and you will be fine after the judges changes tickets into parking violations.

Need to consult an attorney right away.

Contact defense attorney Richard P. Arnold,  he is a Former Assistant State's Attorney. and he is very good. Most of the judges know him in Maryland very well. He has not represent me. But I know him personally very well.

His office number is 301-850-4663, office is in Greenbelt.

Good luck.
