Passaic County DWI News: New Jersey Man Arrested for DUI, Marijuana Possession following Hit-and-Run
Causing a traffic accident is bad enough when alcohol or prescription drugs (drug DUI) are involved, but a DWI-related hit-and-run crash is something that no one should wish upon themselves. In the Garden State, police agencies and our courts are definitely not sympathetic to motorists arrested and charged with drinking and driving; never mind the complication of a traffic accident.
While it may seem to be the end of the world if one is involved in a car or truck accident when possibly impaired due to drugs or alcohol, the last thing one should do is leave the scene of any accident for fear of any consequences; they likely will be made worse by fleeing the scene. As New Jersey drunken driving defense attorneys, I and my staff of experienced legal professionals are well-versed in representing individuals accused of driving while intoxicated.
Courts typically consider personal responsibility as a positive trait, but running from one's potential responsibility following a DWI-related car wreck can make for a more difficult defense. Needless to say, in situations such as this a defendant should seriously consider consulting with a qualified DWI-DUI defense lawyer before one walks into a courtroom.
