North Carolina Hit-and-Run Accidents 
In North Carolina, it is a felony to leave the scene of an injury accident. Drivers who are charged with felony hit-and-run may face jail time, court fines, and probation, among other things. In addition, a driver who leaves the scene of a crash can be held responsible in a personal injury claim for negligent driving that led to the accident. These drivers frequently leave the scene of a crash knowing that their reckless actions caused an injury to another person.
