  1. HOW TO FIGHT A HIT-AND- RUN ALLEGATION WITH A TRAFFIC LAWYER IN NYC

  2. INTRODUCTION If you've been accused of leaving the scene of an accident, hiring an experienced NYC traffic ticket lawyer is crucial to protect your rights and fight the charges. Under New York Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL) § 600, a hit-and-run occurs when a driver involved in an accident fails to stop, provide identification, or report the incident, particularly when property damage, injury, or death has occurred.

  3. 1. ANALYZE THE EVIDENCE Your lawyer will request and review all evidence: Police reports Surveillance footage Witness statements Vehicle damage reports

  4. 2. CHALLENGE IDENTIFICATION In many hit-and-run cases, the identity of the driver is unclear. Just because a car is registered to you doesn’t prove you were driving. A good lawyer can raise reasonable doubt or argue mistaken identity.

  5. 3. ESTABLISH LACK OF KNOWLEDGE If you were unaware that an accident occurred—a valid defense under NY law—your NYC Traffic Ticket lawyer can present evidence supporting this, such as minor or unnoticeable damage.

  6. 4. NEGOTIATE WITH PROSECUTORS An experienced NYC traffic lawyer may be able to: Get the charges reduced (e.g., from felony to misdemeanor) Arrange for no criminal conviction (through diversion or settlement) Avoid jail time Prevent license suspension or revocation

  7. THANK YOU
