Leaving the scene of an accident or "hit and run" is a misdemeanor offense in Minnesota. A conviction could result in a sentence of up to 90 days in jail and/or a $1,000.00 fine. Whenever a person is involved in a property damage accident with an unattended vehicle, Minnesota law requires you leave a written notice with your name and address in a conspicuous place on the damaged vehicle. If you fail to do so, you could be charged with a hit and run offense. A conviction will be certified on your driving record as a moving violation and may result in increased insurance rates. An experienced traffic defense attorney may be able to find the legal loophole to the keep a hit and run conviction off your record and you out of jail.
