Understanding the Law:
New Jersey has both a motor vehicle charge of leaving the scene of an accident and a criminal offense of leaving the scene of an
accident. The NJ motor offense is charged as a common ticket. The criminal charge is contained at N.J.S.A. 2C:12-1.1. Generally
starts as criminal complaint (aka green sheet) but can start as a ticket if the police are not aware of the extent of any victims injury and
can them be upgraded to the criminal charge. The laws and names are similar but there are significant differences, particularly, with
respect to penalties and punishment. The criminal offense is an indictable charge with up to 5 years in jail and is generally applied if
death or serious injury is involved when someone leaves the scene of an accident. The Traffic Ticket Offense for leaving the scene
of an accident in New Jersey has a maximum sentence of 180 days in jail. To learn more about the criminal charge of Leaving the
