your a lucky (or unlucky depending on the degree of injuries you sustained) son of a beech and you're probably a bad driver
If you caused damage to property and get caught, you will get a ticket and have to pay for the damage. If no one saw you then you only have to deal with your conscience. If you try to make a claim on your car, your insurance agent will want to know where and how the damage was done. If you don't make a claim, you will probably get away with it.
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 leave too
Yes. Like a hit and run? If you saw an accident happen and left it is highly unlikely, if not impossible, but if you were involved in anyway it is illegal to leave without first of all stopping your vehicle and communicating with the victim, usually exchanging insurance information and license plates.
The first course of action following an accident should be to contact the local authorities or police. Even if no other vehicle is involved there may be damage to anothers property as well as your own vehicle and a police report is helpful to have for claims that will be made against your insurance policy. In many states it is also illegal to leave the scene of an accident with any type of damage present whether it be property or vehicle damage even if your own vehicle, so contacting the police should always be your first course of action if your able to do so.
Many states consider this a felony if you leave a scene of an accident where someone was injured or killed and this could leave to jail time.

Not 100% but I'm pretty sure you'd be looking at felony hit-and-run along with negligent homicide.
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.

leave note on vehicle
they can file charges or leave it alone, depending on how nice they are,
Well...you would probably be alright. it is illegal to leave the scene of an accident. the accident has to be reported if there is any significant damage to your vehicle.
