If you are involved in the accident it is a crime to leave the scene, but if you are a witness or bystander there is no problem.
You may be arrested for being involved in a "Hit and Run" for which the legal consequences are extremely serious.
This simply means that if you were involved in any type of accident and leave before authorities arrive, you have left the scene of an accident with out making a statement.
CAREFUL! You may still be liable for a charge of "leaving the scene." To have had an "accident" generally implies that you struck SOMETHING. What is it that you struck, who owns it, and did you notify them?
you leave too
Probably, yes. This answer will discuss two situations related to accidents: 1) if you were involved in the accident and 2) if you just happen to come upon the scene of an accident that already happened. 1) Involved in Accident (Hit & Run or Leaving the Scene of an Accident - Minnesota Statute 169.09, Accidents).The driver of any motor vehicle involved in an accident ... shall immediately stop the vehicle at the scene of the accident, or as close to the scene as possible but shall then return to and in every event shall remain at the scene of the accident, until the driver has fulfilled the requirements of this section as to the giving of information. The stop must be made without unnecessarily obstructing traffic. 2) Discovering an Accident (Good Samaritan Statute - Minnesota Statute 171.50, Driver License Compact). A driver can have his or her license suspended for "failure to stop and render aid in the event of a motor vehicle accident resulting in the death or personal injury of another." -- Article IV, Section (a)(4) As with any legal issue, it is best for you to contact an attorney who understands the laws related to your specific issue.
Do not leave the scene. Call the police immediately!! After which you would contact your insurance company. Leaving the scene of an accident is a felony in most state in the US. It is known as "Hit and run", or "leaving the scene of an accident."
You will get fined for the expired tags.
Failure to set the personal example.
IF you are involved in it yes. If people need help and there is no one else to give it , yes. Otherwise no all you would be doing is blocking up the path of the people who need access to the scene of the accident.
It a form that is usually supplied by the employer to report accidents the you are involved with. these forms are the same as the law enforcement fills out when they arrive on the scene of an accident.
they should, as long as you report it soon
