Hit-and-Run, Failure to Report or Leaving the Scene of an Accident in Nevada
Failure to report an accident or fleeing the scene of a car wreck is a serious crime in Nevada. The consequences of conviction can depend upon the seriousness of the damage and whether there was a serious injury or loss of life involved.
If you have been accused of failure to report or fleeing the scene of an accident — also known as hit-and-run — it may take experienced and aggressive defense representation to protect your rights, your criminal record, your driver's license and your freedom.
The timeline in hit-and-run cases is extremely important, as is the validity of any witness testimony or other evidence that may tend to implicate you in the accident. At Oronoz Law Offices in Las Vegas, we have extensive experience in the investigation of complex cases like this.

We have challenged failure to report and hit-and-run allegations by methodically dissecting the prosecution's case. We are trial lawyers. That means we will not back down from a fight. We will take your defense to the highest level.
If you were arrested for leaving the scene of an accident, we strongly encourage you to seek experienced representation immediately.
