It will then be up to your lawyer to repel the presumption by lifting a doubt regarding the intention of the person driving the vehicule.<\/p>\n<h2>The consequences for a Hit and Run : Criminal Code and the SAAQ<\/h2>\n<p>Being convicted of a hit and run has many consequences, such as financial and administrative. In fact, a person convicted of a hit and run risks getting a criminal record, a prison sentence and a complete loss of the right to drive a motor vehicle for a period of 4 years at the SAAQ.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, If his offense is linked to bodily injuries or death of another person, minimal sentences apply.<\/p>\n<h2>Need a lawyer for a hit and run accusation?<\/h2>\n<p>It is strongly recommended that you use the services of a lawyer that has a lot of experience regarding driving infractions to avoid unpleasant consequences.
