Legal Question in Criminal Law in Connecticut

hi, im a uber driver kanan. i hit parked car while passenger in the car at drop off location and i left to go home due to my back pain because i over worked my recommend hours given by doctor, at the time i was experiencing a lot of pain. when cops arrived to my home like 40 mins later i freaked out and told them i have not been involve an accident i did not feel any impact and my car wasn't damaged at all no scratches, no dents .The Cop looked at the car and told me my passenger reported the accident and gave the picture of the accident to him. cop gave me a court date ticket for evading responsibility. how should i build my defense now? should i stay with my statement to cop and say my driving ability and awareness might have been compromised due to the pain i was experiencing at the time simply i was not aware of accident?

You need an attorney experienced in criminal defense. If you have no criminal record thus far, it may be something that can be handled with discretion and expedience and taken care of properly by the right attorney. Lying is not an option for you. My partner and I handle matters like this frequently and we are relatively close to East Haven, with our offices in Stratford. If you would like further information or assistance please contact us at 203.870.6700.
