Being charged with a hit and run offense is a serious crime that comes with severe ramifications if convicted. Depending on the number of people injured, the severity of the injuries, and your criminal history, you can be facing jail or prison time, huge fines, probation, restitution to the victim, and points added to your driving record.
Hit-and-run accidents are not only when you hit another vehicle or a pedestrian and then flee the scene. They also include hitting a parked vehicle and the failure to leave a note for the owner.
According to Vehicle Code 20002VC, you may be charged with a misdemeanor hit and run if you leave the scene, damage another person’s property, or not identifying yourself to the other person. You may be charged with a felony hit and run if you injured another person.
If you are charged with a hit and run, it is important to hire an experienced and aggressive Riverside Criminal Defense attorney who will fight to protect your rights.

Examples of why you might receive a ticket includes speeding, not using turn signals, parking at a meter after it has expired or parking at a handicapped spot without authorization to do so.

A will is a good estate planning tool. Any couple or individual with financial investments and assets will benefit from having one.
A simple will is probably all you need if most of your assets can be transferred through a beneficiary designation of joint tenancy. However, if you own real property, even with a will, your estate will need to be probated.
If you have children, you can insert a trust into your will, which will become effective at the time of your death. It can be used to provide for your children. There are advantages and disadvantages to both a living trust and a simple will.
If you are interested in creating a will and have questions about how to start, contact an experienced Riverside Estate Planning attorney who will help you in creating a will to protect your financial interests and your loved ones later on.
