We both only had PL/PD insurance.
I went home and within the hour a police officer showed up at my door and gave me a ticket for failure to report an accident. He said a witness called it in and gave my driver's license which is how he tracked me down.
Is this legit? I have to go to court over this and I'm afraid there will be a fine or points. Does anyone have any information about this situation?
Can she go down and file a report on my license plate and claim I hit her, and did not report the accident. Can the police serve me with a warrant or ticket if she files a report?
I live in the state of Nevada, and I gave false information to the person who I hit.
What can happen to me? what can I do to fix this? Am I in trouble?
If I claim it wasnt me how can they find out if I've done this? I keep trying to get and answer about Nevada law and accidents on private property? Do i have to report this to the police or my insurance?
