Arizona law imposes specific duties after a crash: stop, provide identifying information, and render aid when necessary. Failure to do so can lead to misdemeanor or felony charges depending on injury level. We clarify what the law actually requires and how intent, confusion, or safety concerns can affect culpability.

Evidence may include vehicle damage analysis, paint transfer, surveillance, and cell‑site data. We explore whether the driver knew a collision occurred, whether it was safe to stop at that location, and whether a later reporting effort can mitigate penalties. Insurance and restitution issues run alongside the criminal case and deserve coordinated handling.

Our goal is to separate panic or misunderstanding from criminal intent, protect driving privileges, and resolve restitution in a way that promotes a fair, sustainable outcome.

Hit-and-run charges (ARS §28-661) require proof of willful failure to stop and exchange information. Armour Legal reconstructs accident scenes using expert analysis of skid marks, surveillance footage, and witness interviews to show compliance or reasonable misunderstanding.

We file suppression motions against improper police stops and negotiate first-offense diversion when injuries are minor, preserving driving privileges and avoiding jail time.

These cases hinge on knowledge and safety: did the driver realize a collision occurred, and was it safe to stop at that location? We retain accident‑reconstruction experts, analyze vehicle damage and paint transfer, and track surveillance to reconstruct routes and timing. We highlight later reporting or insurance cooperation to mitigate penalties and to separate panic from criminal intent.

Where injury is alleged, we coordinate restitution in a way that satisfies victims while protecting clients from unpayable civil demands. We also address license consequences and craft compliance steps—SR‑22, education programs—that help judges choose non‑custodial resolutions.
