Frequently AskedQuestions
What should I do if I've already left the scene?
Contact our office immediately. Time is critical. We can advise you on the best course of action to minimize consequences and begin building your defense.

This is a valid defense. If you genuinely didn't know contact occurred, we can build a defense around lack of knowledge. Evidence like vehicle damage patterns and witness statements support this.
