Hit and Run “Attended” in Washington State (RCW 46.52.020)

This is a crime that involves hitting a vehicle where there is either a driver or an occupant who is not injured and then leaving the scene. If you are a driver who is involved in an accident with an occupied vehicle, you must stop and provide your name, address, insurance company, insurance policy number, vehicle license number, and driver’s license. If you leave the scene without providing this information and are later found, a charge of Hit and Run “Attended” will almost certainly be filed. The State has 2 years from the date of the incident to file charges.
The state must prove that you were aware of the accident. It is not necessary that you know or were aware that the other vehicle was occupied, even though this fact is what elevates the charge from a misdemeanor to a gross misdemeanor. If convicted of this section, your license will be revoked for a period of at least one year.

    Best experience Ive ever had. Got Joseph’s contact information from a colleague sent a text and got an immediate response and a phone call with clear directions and details as what he needed from me and when I would expect to hear back from him. He was very prompt, professional, compassionate, understanding, very polite and helpful. He did a great job, everything he said he would do with no hidden agendas. 10/10 recommend. Will definitely use his services again if the need arises. I couldn’t have hand picked anyone better for the job.
