Va Code Section 46.2-894
If you leave the scene of an accident you will be charged with what is commonly called “hit & run” in Virginia. Whether the result is property damage or personal injury, either can bring a felony charge. You are required to stop, exchange information, help out the injured and wait for the police. You can go to jail and lose your license so if you are charged with Hit and Run or leaving the scene. In such a case, you need an attorney, preferably one experienced in DUI defense.
Accidents can lead to Felony or Misdemeanor charges and often the consequences are worse than a DWI or DUI because it involves a victim and you damaged their person or property and ran. Judges and prosecutors do not like this and therefore jail time is always a risk.
