Leaving the Scene of Personal Injury

Massachusetts Leaving the Scene Defense Attorney

In Massachusetts, Leaving the Scene of Personal Injury is considered a serious offense. Under the law, the penalties are very similar to those for Leaving the Scene of Property Damage, with a longer minimum mandatory license loss (1 year) from the Massachusetts RMV and $1000 fine. In reality, though, they are treated much more seriously. Prosecutors are far less inclined to work out a deal short of a criminal conviction, or even jail time, when you knowingly drove away from an accident that caused actual personal injury to the victim. Not only are the stakes much higher in the Massachusetts criminal justice system, but at any time up to 2 years after the accident you could also be facing a civil law suit with hospital bills, out of pocket expenses, and pain and suffering claims. Your first step should be to contact a skilled criminal defense attorney who can protect your rights and your freedom, helping you get the best outcome possible.

I can often work with both the prosecution and the victim advocates within the District Attorney's Office to execute an "Accord and Satisfaction." This can ensure a fair resolution for everyone involved, without a criminal conviction that would stay with my client for life.

Client Reviews
★★★★★
"Ben Urbelis recently represented me in an OUI case in which I had crashed my car. I honestly did not believe I had any chance of beating it, but fortunately for me Ben was outstanding and all charges were dropped. In my first hearing he was calm, assertive and straight to the point. I was extremely impressed and satisfied. I left my hearing feeling confident that I had made the right choice of hiring him. I am positive I would have lost this case and walked away with an OUI if I hadn't. I am very happy with how he handled my case and how reassured I felt having him as my lawyer." MC

"When I found myself charged with my 3rd DUI I was certain without a doubt that I was facing 6 months to 2 1/2 years in state prison. I can’t believe you were able to guide me calmly through the whole nerve wracking process, never sugar coating anything, staying honest and always keeping me informed the whole time. I still can’t believe that in the end you pulled off a miracle to avoidany jail time. I would recommend you to anyone in the same situation. Thank you so much. You saved me.” JL
