Defending against hit and run charges with strategic legal representation throughout Maryland.
Hit and run charges in Maryland carry serious criminal penalties that go far beyond typical traffic violations. Whether the incident involved property damage only or resulted in personal injury or death, Maryland law requires drivers to stop, provide information, and render aid. Failing to do so can result in felony charges, imprisonment, heavy fines, and license revocation.
At Killian Law Group, our defense attorneys understand that hit and run cases often involve panic, confusion, or a genuine lack of awareness that a collision occurred. We build defenses that address the specific circumstances of each case.
