The law requires that all motor vehicle accidents be reported to the local police department. This means that you should not leave the scene of the accident until you have been released to do so. Failure to do so will result in severe penalties.  If this is your first offense, you will be required to pay fines of between $200 and $400. You may also be required to serve a 40-day jail term and have your driver’s license suspended for 6 months. If the accident resulted in injury, you will have your license suspended for up to 1 year, pay fines of between $2500 and $5000 and serve up to 180 days in prison.  If this is not your first offense, you will face fines of between $400 and $600, a 1 year suspension on your driver’s license, and imprisonment of between 30 and 90 days.
