Fleeing the Scene of the Accident in Las Vegas

When in such a congested and populated city as Las Vegas, the chances of an auto accident are astronomically higher by nature of the location. Auto accidents are serious cases that deserve to be treated as such. The injuries and emotional, physical and financial trauma that can stem from such a situation can be long-lasting and life-altering. Which is why hit and run cases are taken even more gravely. Fleeing the scene of an accident, even if completely innocent is a serious criminal offense.

By contacting a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible, you are giving yourself the best possible advantage towards your fighting for your future.
