Walk It Through: The Fender Bender
Stop and report the details, help anyone hurt, and a note at an unattended car.
A driver sideswipes a car in a parking garage, and its driver is standing beside it.
Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.
One sideswipe, one pedestrian and one parked car. The felony grades in detail, the officer's investigation, and a driver too hurt to report are not worked through here.
A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
