leaving the scene
Florida: What are the consequences
for leaving the scene of an accident if
you are not at fault? My father was
rear ended on a highway 19 in
Clearwater. He pulled over a few
blocks from the accident and saw the
driver get out of the car, but he was
unable to turn around because of the
one way traffic. Shook up, he went
home and got me, his daughter, to
drive him back to the accident site.
When we returned to the accident
site (40 minutes later), no one was
there except the policeman who then
issued a ticket to him for leaving the
scene of the accident. The other
driver had refused medical assistance
at the time of the accident, and she
received the ticket for the accident. It
was clearly her fault (stated by the
police). Does he need representation
when going in front of the judge?
What are the consequences for a
guilty or not guilty plea? His court
date is Aug 4
