Consequences of Criminal Traffic Violations in New York

Criminal traffic violations can result in jail time, hefty fines, license suspensions, and misdemeanors or felonies on your criminal record. A criminal conviction may also increase your auto insurance premiums, make employment opportunities difficult, or negatively impact your immigration status if you are a non-citizen.

How Can You Avoid a Hit-And-Run Charge?

You were pulling out of a parking space when you realized you hadn't given yourself enough room. You scraped the car next to you, and when you looked at the damage, it was fairly obvious that there had been contact between your vehicles.

Now, you're not sure what you should do. If you stay, you don't know how long you'll be waiting for someone to arrive. If you leave, you don't want to get charged with a hit-and-run. What should you do?

Normally, if someone is in the vehicle and gets hurt, you need to stay at the scene and wait for police. This is different, though. Typically, the law requires that you notify the owner of the vehicle. The law doesn't dictate how you do that, but it does say that if you can't find the owner, you can leave a note in a conspicuous place on the vehicle. The note needs to include your name, address and a statement on what happened.

Don't think that's enough, though. It's a good idea to contact the police after the crash, even if you already left a note. That way, there is a very low risk that you could be accused of a hit-and-run crash.

What happens if you leave without leaving a note?

It depends on your state, but most states fine the person who damaged the vehicle and left the scene. Some states can charge you with a misdemeanor, which could result in a jail sentence. If you're not sure about your circumstances, your New York criminal traffic violations attorney can help you learn more about your options.

"So personable and nice."
When I called the Firm I was very hesitant in even hiring an attorney but after speaking with the attorney I felt very comfortable in my decision in hiring an attorney. I had a reckless driving summons in NY and the attorney Lindsay Kron met me at court. She was so personable and nice. She was able to have my summons reduced to a no point no criminal violation with a minimal fine. This Firm is amazing and did a great job. I would definitely recommend them in the future.

Rachel
"Excellent Service!"
Once I called Mr. Kron's office, all of my issues were resolved. He took the time to review my case and recommend the best solutions for me; even from a financial perspective. I will recommend him to ANYONE who requests legal aid in his coverage area and will be calling him again if I find myself in another bind.

Kevin
"Mr. Martin A. Kron & Associates is very professional, direct, and responsive."
Mr. Kron and his firm delivered results way beyond my expectations. Job well done and worth the money!!

Elie
"Martin was honest, clear and available."
This was my first time hiring an attorney for a ticket. I had a ticket for speeding in a school zone and was in jeopardy of having my license suspended. Martin was honest, clear and available. He just communicated with me and shared I was found not guilty!!! So grateful and thankful for Martin and his team!

Satisfied Client
"He kept in touch to make sure my issue was completely resolved."
Martin Kron was very patient, fair, and upfront during my interactions with him. I am currently out of the NY/NJ area, after a recent move. But needed someone to represent me for an issue with the DMV in NYS. He was realistic with timelines and was able to ultimately get my issue resolved before it affected my current state license. Can't thank him enough. After he resolved the issue in NYS, he kept in touch to make sure my issue was completely resolved in my new home state.

Orlene
"Martin took care of two tickets that were worth 8 points on my license!"
Martin and his team were so professional, attentive, and responsive. I recommend Martin 100%!! Thank you so much. Very very much appreciated.

Christine
"Exceeds excellence!!"
The team at Martin A. Kron exceeds excellence!!! Thank you so much, Naomi, for helping me in my situation concerning my DMV case! You're the best!!!

Viana
"No fine and no points on my license!"
Martin is an excellent lawyer. I had a hearing for a cell phone ticket that I forgot about. I called him 1 day before and Martin attended the hearing the following day in my absence and got me a No Guilty Fee! Resulting in no fine and more importantly - no points on my license!
