Alabama Code Title 32 Chapter 10 requires that anyone, including commercial truck drivers, who was involved in a motor vehicle accident has a duty to remain at the scene until the involved parties have exchanged their names, addresses, driver’s license and correct contact information, and insurance information, or in the alternative, have provided all this information to the law enforcement agency on scene. If an injury is involved, reasonable assistance must be provided by calling for emergency medical services and the accident must be reported to law enforcement. A failure to do this by fleeing the scene of the accident is criminal behavior that can mean: Being charged with a Class A misdemeanor carrying a sentence of up to one year in jail, and/or a fine of up to $6,000 when no injuries were involved. Being charged with a Class C felony carrying a sentence of 10 years in prison, and a fine of up to $15,000 if an injury or death were involved.
