[quote=Anonymous]We received a shock today in form of a letter from D.C. police advising our car had been involved in a hit and run 2.5 weeks ago. The letter advised us to call a particular detective.

It turns out our newly qualified 17yo clipped a pedestrian with his right mirror in a parking lot he as he went around another car that had stopped while people talked. He is adamant he did not hit her with the body of the car.

He says he stopped and wound down the right window to apologise and asked if she was hurt. She understandably was very angry and yelled at him. He thought she was not hurt (but guess he wouldn’t know for sure) and turned away from him (but he’s not entirely sure). I suspect he panicked given there were cars backed up behind him wanting to leave. He did not find somewhere to stop and return to check on her and give his details.

Yes, he’s an idiot and we are disappointed. We have removed all driving privileges and his punishment from us is to be determined.

My question is do we need to get a lawyer involved? What should we expect?
