When you first learned how to drive, you were taught to call the police if you were in an accident.  However, something happened this time.  Maybe you were distracted by your cell phone or a text.  Maybe you fell asleep while driving and caused an accident.  Maybe you tried to stop and still hit someone.  Whatever happened, we can help you deal with being charged with leaving the scene of an accident in New Jersey.
