Leave Scene of Property Damage
Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle
Client was working two full time jobs when he got into two separate car accidents. He did not remain on the scene, leaving for various reasons when he should not have. Fortunately, with adequate preparation time, client and Attorney Barabino were able to gather weather data for the date of the accident from the federal government, as well as work with the insurance companies to allow verification of the payment for damage. From this information, Attorney Barabino built a case with mitigation factors in place. A hearing was held and a decision was made that no probable cause issue—and the case did not proceed.
RESULT: NO PROBABLE CAUSE. CASE DOES NOT ISSUE.
