Our client is a Commercial Driver License holder and delivers merchandise in a box truck. While making a delivery in a busy shopping parking lot our client was attempting to drive between to other delivery trucks that were parked. He noticed his bumper touch the bumper of the other truck, so he backed up and observed there to be no damage. Unbeknownst to him, the box portion of his truck had also made contact with the other truck causing slight scratches. Our client, unaware of the damage, remained on scene for 15 minutes to finish his delivery and then continued on his route. Sometime there after our client was contacted by the police and charged with Leaving the Scene of an Accident. The firm’s attorney set the case for trial as there was strong evidence proving that the client was unaware that a crash involving damage occurred. The prosecutor dropped all charges 4 days before the trial date.
