Leaving the scene of an accident is a crime. The seriousness of the crime increases when a personal injury occurs from the accident. In this case, since the pedestrian died from their injuries, the person who left the scene could be charged with something as serious as vehicular homicide.

Most hit-and-run cases are solved by the police. Security footage or witnesses are able to identify the vehicle from the accident, which leads to a subsequent arrest. At the time of arrest, the accused will need criminal defense services to help them present their case to the court and secure the best possible outcome to the charges.
