Understanding Massachusetts Law – Leaving the Scene of an Accident
Under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 90, Section 24, every driver involved in an accident must:
-
Stop immediately at or near the scene.
-
Provide their name, address, vehicle registration, and insurance details.
-
Render reasonable assistance to anyone injured.
Failing to follow these rules can result in a criminal charge for leaving the scene of an accident — even if no one was hurt.
