Motorcycle & Auto Accident FAQ's
Serving all of Pennsylvania
Do I have to stop if I am in an auto accident ?
Yes. When the auto accident involves a pedestrian, a moving car, a parked car or someone's property, Pennsylvania law requires you to stop. Otherwise, you may expose yourself to "hit and run" charges regardless of fault.
Hit and run penalties are severe and can result in fines, jail time or both, and the loss of your driver's license.
If you hit a parked car, first attempt to locate the owner and drive away only after you leave behind your name, address and an explanation of the accident. You must also notify the police by telephone or in person.
