There is a particular kind of panic that comes with a hit-and-run arrest.
You may have been driving home through Lawrenceville, Duluth, Buford, Norcross, Suwanee, Peachtree Corners, Snellville, Sugar Hill, or somewhere along the enormous network of roads that runs through Gwinnett County. There may have been an accident. You may have left. Perhaps you did not realize that you had struck another vehicle. Perhaps you knew there had been contact but were frightened and made a terrible decision.
And now there is an arrest.
Suddenly, what seemed like a few seconds of confusion on the roadway has become a criminal case.
The natural instinct is to explain.
That instinct can get you into trouble.
A hit-and-run investigation can involve photographs, surveillance video, license-plate information, vehicle damage, witness statements, 911 calls, body-camera footage, accident reports, insurance information, and statements allegedly made by the driver. The case may therefore develop very differently from the way the driver remembers it.
If you have been arrested or charged with hit and run in Gwinnett County, the smartest move is usually not to try to “fix” the situation yourself.
The smarter move is to slow everything down, preserve evidence, understand exactly what you are charged with, and have a Georgia criminal-defense lawyer examine the government's evidence before you make additional statements.
This is especially important because “hit and run” is not one simple factual scenario.
A collision involving another occupied vehicle is different from striking an unattended car in a parking lot. A collision involving injury is different from a minor property-damage accident. A driver who knowingly leaves can present different factual issues from a driver who genuinely did not realize a collision occurred.
The details matter.
And in Gwinnett County, where misdemeanor and traffic matters can proceed through State Court and other traffic proceedings, understanding where your case is going and what you are actually facing is essential. Gwinnett County State Court has jurisdiction over misdemeanor and traffic violations, and the county's court system specifically identifies hit and run among traffic offenses that may be prosecuted in State Court.
If you have been arrested, here are seven things to do next.
1. Stop Talking About the Case
This is first for a reason.
After an arrest, people frequently want to explain themselves.
“I didn't know I hit anybody.”
“It was barely a bump.”
“I panicked.”
“I came back later.”
“I thought the other driver was fine.”
“I was scared because I had been drinking.”
“I only left because traffic was dangerous.”
“I was going to call the police.”
“I didn't even know they were talking about me.”
Some of these statements may eventually become important to the defense.
But there is a tremendous difference between explaining your side of the story to your attorney in a protected attorney-client relationship and explaining it to investigators, insurance adjusters, witnesses, acquaintances, or people posting about the case online.
Silence is not an admission of guilt.
It is a legal protection.
If police want to question you after an arrest, you do not need to turn the conversation into a miniature courtroom.
You can identify yourself as required, comply with lawful booking procedures, and then clearly state that you want to speak with an attorney before answering substantive questions.
Do not attempt to outsmart the police.
Do not lie.
Do not invent a story.
Do not guess.
Do not fill gaps in your memory.
And do not assume that because you are innocent—or believe you are innocent—you should simply explain everything.
Your lawyer needs to know what happened.
The prosecution does not need your unfiltered version before your lawyer has had an opportunity to evaluate the evidence.
2. Find Out Exactly What You Were Charged With
“Hit and run” is a phrase ordinary people use.
Your lawyer needs to know the actual charge.
Georgia's hit-and-run statute is found at O.C.G.A. § 40-6-270, which addresses a driver's duties after being involved in an accident.
The precise circumstances matter enormously.
For example:
- Was another person injured?
- Was someone killed?
- Was there only property damage?
- Was the other vehicle occupied?
- Was the other vehicle unattended?
- Did you stop?
- Did you provide identifying information?
- Did you leave before exchanging information?
- Was emergency medical assistance required?
- Did police identify your vehicle through witnesses or video?
- Did you later return?
- Was the alleged collision on a public road?
- Was it in a private parking lot?
- Is there another criminal charge attached to the case?
These questions are not technicalities.
They are the case.
Georgia law imposes specific duties upon drivers involved in qualifying accidents, and other Georgia statutes separately address accidents involving unattended vehicles, fixed objects, and reporting requirements.
That means the phrase “I got arrested for hit and run” is only the beginning of the analysis.
Your lawyer should obtain and examine the charging instrument rather than relying upon a verbal description of what allegedly happened.
3. Preserve Your Vehicle and Every Piece of Evidence
This is one of the most overlooked steps.
Your vehicle may be evidence.
Do not casually repair it.
Do not repaint it.
Do not replace a damaged bumper.
Do not throw away broken pieces.
Do not take the vehicle to a body shop and authorize extensive repairs before your lawyer has had an opportunity to determine whether photographs, measurements, paint transfer, dents, scratches, or other physical evidence may matter.
Why?
Because the physical condition of the vehicle can sometimes become central to questions such as:
Was this vehicle actually involved in the collision?
Was the damage consistent with the alleged impact?
Could the driver have perceived the collision?
How significant was the impact?
Is the alleged damage consistent with the government's version of events?
Consider a hypothetical.
A driver in Duluth is accused of striking another vehicle in a parking lot and leaving. The other vehicle has a long scrape along its rear quarter panel. Investigators later identify the accused vehicle, which has a small mark near the front bumper.
The question is not simply whether both vehicles have damage.
The question is whether the physical evidence actually connects the two vehicles in a legally meaningful way.
That can require careful examination.
Preserve more than the vehicle.
Preserve:
- photographs of your vehicle;
- photographs taken immediately after the incident;
- dashcam footage;
- cellphone photographs;
- GPS information;
- vehicle-camera footage;
- text messages;
- relevant emails;
- receipts;
- parking records;
- repair estimates;
- insurance correspondence;
- towing records;
- medical records if anyone was injured;
- communications with police;
- communications with the other driver;
- photographs of the accident scene;
- names and contact information for witnesses.
And do not delete things simply because they make you uncomfortable.
Deleting evidence can create an entirely new problem.
4. Do Not Assume the Insurance Company Is Your Criminal Defense Lawyer
This distinction is crucial.
Your insurance company may have a legitimate interest in investigating the accident.
Your lawyer has a different job.
Insurance claims and criminal prosecutions are not the same thing.
An insurance adjuster may ask:
What happened?
You may feel obligated to provide a detailed answer.
But if there is an active criminal investigation or prosecution, your communications should be handled carefully and coordinated with your defense attorney when appropriate.
That does not mean that you should ignore your insurance company's legitimate requirements.
It means that you should understand the difference between:
handling the civil/insurance consequences of an accident
and
defending yourself against a criminal charge.
Those two worlds can overlap.
They are not identical.
Suppose someone is accused of hit and run after a collision in Lawrenceville.
The other driver may pursue an insurance claim.
The insurer may investigate the accident.
The police may conduct a criminal investigation.
The prosecutor may review the criminal case.
Your driver's license may be affected by a conviction.
Your employment may be affected.
Your commercial driving privileges may be affected in some circumstances.
Those consequences can move on different tracks.
A good defense strategy therefore considers the entire landscape instead of treating the case as nothing more than “a traffic ticket.”
5. Have Your Lawyer Investigate the Evidence—Not Just the Charge
This is where a real defense begins.
A criminal case is not simply:
“The police say it happened, therefore it happened.”
The defense should examine the evidence.
That may include:
Surveillance video
Gwinnett County has an enormous number of commercial properties, apartment complexes, shopping centers, restaurants, gas stations, office buildings, schools, and residential communities.
Many have cameras.
Video can become extremely important.
But video is not necessarily permanent.
Some systems overwrite recordings.
That makes preservation potentially important.
Dashcam footage
The other driver may have a dashcam.
A passing motorist may have a dashcam.
A rideshare vehicle may have video.
A nearby business may have exterior surveillance.
License-plate identification
A witness may report a plate.
A camera may capture a plate.
Someone may provide police with a partial plate.
But the defense can still examine how the identification was made.
Was the plate clearly visible?
Was the witness mistaken?
Was the vehicle description accurate?
Was the time accurate?
Did the camera capture the relevant event?
Physical evidence
Vehicle damage can matter.
Paint transfer can matter.
The location and height of damage can matter.
The direction of a scrape can matter.
The extent of damage can matter.
The condition of the roadway can matter.
Witness statements
Witnesses sometimes remember events differently.
That is not necessarily dishonesty.
Human memory is imperfect.
A chaotic roadway incident can happen in seconds.
A witness may remember a vehicle as dark when it was actually blue.
A witness may remember a driver stopping when the driver merely slowed down.
A witness may remember a collision as severe when the physical evidence suggests otherwise.
The defense needs to determine what the evidence actually establishes.
6. Take the Court Date Seriously
This sounds obvious.
It is not.
People miss court.
People misunderstand court notices.
People assume their lawyer will “handle everything.”
People think a traffic-related charge cannot possibly result in serious consequences.
That can be a mistake.
Gwinnett County's court system specifically warns that individuals who receive criminal court summonses should carefully review the notice for the location and time of the hearing; failure to appear can result in a bench warrant. The court also emphasizes that calendar information displayed online may not itself constitute an official court date.
In other words:
Do not guess about your court date.
Read the paperwork.
Confirm the court.
Confirm the date.
Confirm the time.
Confirm whether your lawyer has entered the case.
And communicate with your lawyer.
Where might a Gwinnett County hit-and-run case go?
The answer depends upon the facts, charging decision, and procedural posture.
Gwinnett County Recorder's Court handles traffic citations, while Gwinnett County State Court has jurisdiction over misdemeanor and traffic violations. The county's State Court specifically identifies hit and run among traffic offenses that can be prosecuted there.
That makes “What court is my case in?” one of the first practical questions to answer.
7. Hire a Gwinnett County Hit and Run Lawyer Early
This may be the most important step of all.
Not because every hit-and-run case requires a dramatic courtroom battle.
Sometimes early legal work can prevent a case from becoming more complicated.
A lawyer may be able to begin evaluating:
- the police report;
- the accusation;
- the charging document;
- photographs;
- video;
- witness statements;
- vehicle damage;
- insurance issues;
- potential defenses;
- court jurisdiction;
- potential license consequences;
- possible negotiations;
- evidentiary weaknesses;
- procedural problems.
The earlier the defense team understands the case, the earlier it can begin making informed decisions.
And that matters because time can destroy evidence.
A security camera does not care that your court date is three months away.
It may overwrite yesterday's footage.
A witness may move.
A phone may be replaced.
A vehicle may be repaired.
A photograph may disappear.
A memory may become less precise.
The best time to investigate an accident is usually while the evidence is still fresh.
What Does Georgia Law Require After an Accident?
This is where many people become confused.
They hear the phrase:
“You have to stop.”
True—but the legal duties are more specific than that sentence suggests.
Georgia's hit-and-run law, O.C.G.A. § 40-6-270, concerns the driver's duties following an accident.
The precise statutory requirements depend upon the circumstances of the accident.
That is why it is dangerous to reduce the statute to a slogan.
A driver involved in a collision should understand that leaving the location of an accident can create serious legal exposure, particularly when the accident involves another person or significant circumstances.
Georgia law also contains separate provisions dealing with striking unattended vehicles, fixed objects, and accident-reporting requirements.
The practical lesson?
If you are involved in an accident:
Stop.
Assess the situation.
Provide required information.
Call emergency services when appropriate.
Follow the law.
And if you have already left and are now being investigated:
Do not make the situation worse by improvising. Speak with a lawyer.
“But I Didn't Know I Hit Anyone”
This is one of the most important factual issues in some hit-and-run cases.
A driver may genuinely say:
“I didn't know.”
That statement cannot simply be accepted or rejected without examining the evidence.
Consider two dramatically different scenarios.
Scenario One: A major collision
A driver strikes another vehicle with substantial force.
There is loud impact.
The other vehicle is badly damaged.
The driver's vehicle is visibly damaged.
The driver immediately accelerates away.
The State may argue that the circumstances make lack of awareness implausible.
Scenario Two: A low-speed contact
A driver slowly backs out of a crowded parking space.
There is a minor scrape.
Music is playing.
Other cars are moving.
The driver feels something but believes it was a curb.
Later, police identify the vehicle.
Now the defense question may be very different.
What did the driver actually perceive?
Those factual distinctions can be enormously important.
The prosecution must prove the elements of the offense charged.
The defense should therefore investigate the evidence instead of assuming that an accusation automatically answers the factual questions.
“I Panicked and Drove Away”
This happens.
People make bad decisions in stressful moments.
The law, however, does not necessarily excuse conduct simply because the driver was frightened.
So do not assume:
“I was scared, therefore the charge disappears.”
It does not work that way.
But the circumstances surrounding the departure may still matter greatly to the defense.
Why did the person leave?
How long were they gone?
Did they return?
Did they call someone?
Did they contact police?
Did they seek medical assistance?
Did they exchange information later?
Was anyone injured?
What did they know at the time?
What did they believe had happened?
These are factual questions.
A lawyer should develop those facts before deciding how they should be presented.
What If Someone Was Injured?
That raises the stakes.
An accident involving injury can produce consequences substantially more serious than a minor property-damage collision.
If someone was injured, do not discuss the details publicly.
Do not argue about fault on Facebook.
Do not post:
“That person was totally fine.”
Do not post:
“I barely touched them.”
Do not post:
“The police are lying.”
Do not post anything about the case.
Social media can create evidence.
And once something is online, you have lost control over where it travels.
What If the Other Driver Wants to “Drop the Charges”?
This is another common misunderstanding.
A person sometimes says:
“The other driver said they don't want to press charges.”
That does not necessarily mean the criminal case disappears.
A criminal prosecution is not simply a private lawsuit between two people.
Once law enforcement becomes involved, the government may continue the prosecution regardless of whether the complaining witness changes his or her mind.
That is one reason you should not attempt to negotiate your criminal case directly with the other driver.
You may also create problems for yourself by repeatedly contacting someone who does not want contact.
Let your lawyer evaluate the situation.
What Happens to Your Driver's License?
This deserves serious attention.
Georgia law provides for mandatory license suspension following certain convictions, and Georgia statutes specifically identify hit-and-run or leaving the scene under O.C.G.A. § 40-6-270 among offenses associated with mandatory suspension provisions.
The precise consequences depend upon the offense, conviction, license status, and applicable law at the time.
That is why a hit-and-run case should not be viewed solely through the lens of:
“Will I have to pay a fine?”
Your driver's license can be enormously important.
For many Gwinnett County residents, driving is not optional.
It is how you get to:
- work in Lawrenceville;
- school in Duluth;
- appointments in Suwanee;
- construction sites in Buford;
- offices in Peachtree Corners;
- clients throughout Metro Atlanta;
- children to school;
- medical appointments;
- family obligations.
A criminal case can therefore affect far more than your criminal record.
What About Your Job?
This depends heavily on the person and the occupation.
But think about the practical consequences.
A person who works from home may have one set of concerns.
A salesperson driving throughout North Georgia may have another.
A CDL driver may have dramatically different concerns.
A contractor who needs to drive between job sites has different practical problems from someone who rarely drives.
A professional with a security clearance or licensing requirements may need to consider additional issues.
This is why a defense strategy should begin with the question:
What does this case threaten in this person's actual life?
Not every legal consequence appears on the citation.
The Gwinnett County Difference: Local Court Knowledge Matters
Gwinnett County is enormous.
It is not one little courtroom.
The county includes communities such as:
- Lawrenceville
- Duluth
- Buford
- Suwanee
- Norcross
- Snellville
- Sugar Hill
- Peachtree Corners
- Lilburn
- Johns Creek-area communities adjacent to Gwinnett
- Berkeley Lake
- Braselton-area communities
- Grayson
- Auburn-area communities
- and many other neighborhoods and municipalities.
A hit-and-run arrest can arise from a collision on a major highway, a suburban subdivision street, a shopping-center parking lot, or a commercial corridor.
The procedural path can differ depending on the jurisdiction and charge.
Gwinnett County State Court handles misdemeanor and traffic matters, while Superior Court is the county's court of general jurisdiction and has exclusive constitutional authority over felony cases.
Understanding the local court structure is therefore not merely academic.
It is part of understanding the case.
Seven Things NOT to Do After a Gwinnett County Hit-and-Run Arrest
The seven positive steps above are important.
So are these seven prohibitions.
1. Do not lie to police.
A bad situation can become considerably worse when a person starts inventing facts.
2. Do not delete evidence.
Preserve your phone, photographs, video, messages, and other potentially relevant material.
3. Do not repair the vehicle without considering the evidentiary consequences.
Talk to your lawyer first.
4. Do not contact the alleged victim repeatedly.
One conversation can become ten conversations, and ten can become a new problem.
5. Do not post about the case.
Social media is not your friend in an active criminal prosecution.
6. Do not ignore court paperwork.
Gwinnett County warns that failing to appear in criminal court can result in a bench warrant.
7. Do not assume “it's just a traffic ticket.”
Gwinnett County State Court identifies hit-and-run as a traffic offense that may be prosecuted in State Court, and the potential consequences can extend beyond a simple fine.

A Hypothetical: The Lawrenceville Parking-Lot Collision
Imagine a 32-year-old Gwinnett County resident leaving a shopping center in Lawrenceville.
He backs out.
He hears a noise.
He believes he hit a concrete parking barrier.
He drives home.
Later that evening, police arrive.
Another driver says his vehicle was struck.
There is surveillance video.
The police identify the defendant's vehicle.
He is arrested for hit and run.
At first glance, the case appears simple.
But it may not be.
A defense lawyer would want to know:
- What does the video actually show?
- Does it show the collision clearly?
- How severe was the contact?
- What damage exists on each vehicle?
- Does the damage correspond?
- Could the driver realistically have known what happened?
- Was the vehicle occupied?
- What did witnesses actually see?
- What did the driver say?
- When did police first contact the driver?
- What evidence was collected?
- What exactly was charged?
That is the difference between reacting to an accusation and defending a criminal case.
Why Early Investigation Can Change the Case
Criminal defense is often described as what happens inside a courtroom.
That is only part of it.
A great deal of defense work happens before anyone stands before a judge.
It can happen in:
- reviewing reports;
- obtaining discovery;
- examining photographs;
- studying video;
- inspecting vehicles;
- interviewing witnesses;
- analyzing timelines;
- reviewing statutory elements;
- researching procedural issues;
- negotiating with prosecutors;
- preparing motions;
- evaluating possible defenses.
The courtroom is the visible part.
The preparation underneath it is often where the real work occurs.
What a Good Gwinnett County Hit-and-Run Defense Should Ask
Before discussing a resolution, your lawyer should understand the fundamentals.
What exactly does the State claim happened?
Not the headline.
Not the accusation.
The actual factual allegation.
What evidence supports it?
Police reports are allegations and investigative records.
They are not automatically proof of every factual assertion.
What evidence contradicts it?
This can be just as important.
What does the physical evidence show?
Sometimes physical evidence tells a very different story from witness memory.
What does the video show?
Not what someone says it shows.
What does it actually show?
What did the defendant know?
Knowledge and perception can become important factual issues depending upon the charge and circumstances.
What did the defendant do afterward?
The post-accident timeline may matter.
What are the collateral consequences?
License.
Employment.
Insurance.
Professional obligations.
Travel.
Commercial driving.
Immigration consequences, where applicable.
A defense lawyer should look at the entire problem—not merely the name printed on the accusation.
Frequently Asked Questions About Gwinnett County Hit and Run
Is hit and run a felony in Georgia?
It can be associated with extremely serious circumstances, particularly when an accident involves death or serious injury. The exact charge and potential penalty depend upon the facts and statutes involved. Do not assume your case is either “just a misdemeanor” or automatically a felony without examining the actual charge.
Is leaving after a minor accident still a problem?
Yes. The seriousness of the accident does not mean that a driver can simply ignore Georgia's statutory duties.
What if I did not know I hit another car?
That factual issue may be highly important, depending upon the specific charge and evidence. Your lawyer should examine the circumstances, vehicle damage, video, witnesses, and other evidence.
What if I came back later?
Returning later does not necessarily erase what allegedly happened earlier. But the circumstances surrounding the return can be relevant facts.
What if I called the police afterward?
That may become an important part of the timeline. Preserve records of the call and tell your lawyer exactly what occurred.
What if nobody was injured?
A property-damage-only case can still be serious. The exact facts and charge matter.
What if someone was injured?
The legal stakes can increase substantially. You should obtain legal counsel promptly.
What if the other driver says they do not want charges?
That does not necessarily end the criminal case.
Can I talk to the prosecutor myself?
You can physically speak to people, but that does not mean you should. A criminal-defense lawyer can communicate with the prosecution while protecting the defense strategy.
Should I talk to the police?
If police are seeking substantive information about the alleged offense, talk with your lawyer before making statements.
Can my car be evidence?
Yes. The physical condition of the vehicle can potentially matter.
Should I repair my car?
Speak with your lawyer before making repairs if the vehicle may be evidence.
Can I delete text messages?
No. Do not destroy potentially relevant evidence.
Can I post about my arrest?
You should assume anything you post can become evidence or otherwise be used against you.
Will I lose my driver's license?
A conviction for hit-and-run can trigger license consequences under Georgia law. The precise consequence depends upon the circumstances and applicable law.
Will I have to go to court in Lawrenceville?
That depends upon the court handling your particular case and the procedural posture. Gwinnett County has multiple courts with different jurisdictions.
Can a lawyer appear for me?
Whether you personally must appear depends upon the specific court, charge, proceeding, and judge's requirements. Your attorney can explain what applies to your case.
Can a hit-and-run case be negotiated?
Potentially. Criminal cases can sometimes be resolved through negotiated dispositions, but the appropriate strategy depends upon the evidence, charge, criminal history, consequences, and objectives of the defense.
Should I just plead guilty and get it over with?
Do not make that decision without understanding the consequences.
A plea can affect much more than the immediate punishment.
Is hit and run worse than a normal traffic ticket?
It can be. Gwinnett County State Court specifically identifies hit-and-run among traffic offenses that may be prosecuted there.
What if I was scared?
Fear may explain behavior, but it does not automatically eliminate criminal liability. The factual circumstances should be examined carefully.
What if I had been drinking?
Tell your lawyer the truth.
Do not try to hide relevant facts from your attorney.
Your lawyer cannot properly defend you if you conceal important information.
What if there is a DUI charge too?
That can substantially change the defense strategy. The DUI and hit-and-run allegations may interact factually and legally.
What if I have a CDL?
Tell your lawyer immediately. Driving-related convictions can have consequences beyond an ordinary driver's license.
What if this is my first offense?
That can be relevant, but it does not automatically resolve the case.
What if I have prior convictions?
Your criminal history can affect negotiations and sentencing considerations. Your lawyer needs to know your complete history.
What if the accident occurred in a parking lot?
The precise location and circumstances matter. Do not assume that because it occurred in a parking lot there can be no criminal consequences.
What if I struck an unattended car?
Georgia has separate statutory provisions addressing accidents involving unattended vehicles.
What if I struck a fixed object?
Georgia law separately addresses accidents involving fixtures or property.
Can surveillance video help me?
Absolutely. Video can help the State, the defense, or both. Your lawyer should determine what it actually shows.
Can surveillance video hurt me?
Yes.
That is precisely why it should be obtained and reviewed rather than ignored.
Can witness testimony be challenged?
Witness accounts can be examined for accuracy, consistency, perception, opportunity to observe, and consistency with physical evidence.
What should I bring to my lawyer?
Bring your citation or accusation, bond paperwork, police paperwork, photographs, insurance documents, vehicle information, court notices, and any relevant communications.
How quickly should I hire a lawyer?
As early as reasonably possible, particularly if video, vehicle evidence, witnesses, or other time-sensitive evidence may exist.
