You might be charged with hit and run, and will need to work out the best deal you can with the prosecutor and Judge. Depending on the situation, it could be a felony. You need a good lawyer.

It is a crime to leave the scene of an accident. Get a lawyer and see if he can arrange for you to correct the problem without getting hammered by a criminal judge.

If you caused only property damage, it is a misdemeanor. If you caused physical injury, it is a felony. Contact a criminal lawyer without delay.

Leaving the scene of an accident is a crime in most states. If you haven't done so already, you should go to the police station and report what happened. Be honest, and tell them that you panicked.
