The Long Beach Police Department Hit and Run Division actively investigates
and pursues all allegations of hit and run occurring within the city of Long Beach.
As a result, most reports are aggressively undertaken and charges can be
brought quickly if the appropriate action is not taken. A common question asked
of attorneys is whether after being involved in a collision and fleeing the scene is
it a good idea to talk to the police. The safe answer from a legal perspective is
that whenever a person is being investigated for a criminal charge, the accused
enjoys the right to remain silent and has the right to have an attorney advise their
clients to exercise that right and render legal advice as well as engage in
pre-filing investigation of the case to attempt to mitigate or prevent criminal
prosecution.
Commonly, an individual who has been involved in a hit and run will falsely report
that their vehicle has been stolen or is missing. The report will usually follow the
accident and can subject the individual to additional charges of filing a false
police report, which in and of itself is a felony offense. It is never a good idea to
compound the crime by engaging in this conduct. The hit and run charge is
serious enough and often the police will easily be able to see through the report
as a way of covering a person's tracks. It is recommended instead that the
person immediately retain the services of a good, local, experienced attorney
who can meet with the police and minimize or avoid altogether criminal
prosecution. In many cases the evidence may place the person at the scene and
eyewitnesses identification may exist that could implicate the person in the crime.
For well over a decade we have been successfully representing people accused
of hit and run. Many times criminal charges can be avoided if the damages are
covered and the injured party is made whole. In fact, the law recognizes that a
"civil compromise" can be effectuated thereby discharging an otherwise guilty
party from criminal prosecution.
Recently, the attorney was retained to represent a young man in the Long Beach
area after he was involved in a motor vehicle accident and had fled the scene.
The Lawyer took immediate steps to properly advise the individual on what and
what not to do. The lawyer contacted law enforcement on behalf of the client and
arranged to have the vehicle released from police impound. Thereafter, the
lawyer communicated with the client's insurance company and resolved the issue
of damages and compensation for the vehicle. No criminal charges were ever
filed against the client.
If you or a loved one has been involved as the driver of a vehicle where a hit and
run has taken place, contact our Long Beach Hit and Run Defense Lawyer for a

outstanding bench or arrest warrant in another case, drug possession, prior
felony strikes, or a situation where you cannot go to Court due to some exigency
or residence out of state.
