Hit and Run charges in Missouri
Hit and run is charged when a driver leaves the scene of an accident without stopping to exchange information or render aid. It is a serious offense that is criminal in every state, with severity tied to property damage versus injury. In Missouri, a conviction adds demerit points toward the Missouri DOR suspension threshold of 8 points in 18 months, and the conviction follows you to your insurer.
Why fight your Hit and Run ticket?
Defenses that actually work
Attorneys examine whether you knew an accident occurred, identity and driver disputes, and whether the legal duty to stop was actually triggered.
What's at stake in Missouri
A hit and run conviction creates a criminal record, heavy points, and — where injury is involved — possible felony charges and jail. In Missouri, points accumulate toward suspension at 8 points in 18 months.
Prevent insurance increases
A hit and run conviction can raise Missouri premiums by roughly 27% — often for three years. Fighting the ticket can prevent that.
Flat fee, no financial risk
You pay a one-time flat fee regardless of how much attorney time your case takes. If we can't match you, you pay nothing.
