Despite laws requiring drivers to remain at the scene of an accident,
hit
and run accidents
do take place. In fact, according to the American Automobile Association,
approximately 11% of all police-reported accidents involve a driver that
leaves the scene. When you are involved in an accident, your main concern
should be the health and well-being of yourself and others in the car with
you. The least you could expect is for the at-fault party to stay at the
scene and wait for the police to arrive.
