Leaving the Scene of a California DUI AccidentWe often hear about people leaving the scene of a California DUI accident, and we understand why. Leaving the scene of an accident is often a direct result of our own human physiological wiring, the “flight or fight” response. The hit and run phenomena happens because it is biologically programmed into us as human beings. Rationally, we may know that we have been seen by a witnesses, camera, or even the victim, and yet we still run. Remember rationale is not a part of the mix in this extraordinarily stressful situation. It is our body's own defense mechanism (fight or flight) that controls us in this circumstance.If a Hit and Run charge is accompanied by a California DUI charge the stakes are that much higher, and it is even more important that the accused have a competent, experienced Los Angeles DUI lawyer on their side. Some of the issues that we look at as defenses in the situation are conflicting eyewitness reports, cause of the accident, the reliability of the BAC (Blood Alcohol) testing and reported levels, probable cause for BAC testing and a host of other issues that may come up in any given individual case. NO two cases are alike! Call us now so that we can discuss the facts of your case to establish your defenses early. I always compare criminal cases to a cancer. Early detection and treatment is often the key. |
