Asked 3/19/2016 – Fort Worth, TX

My DL is currently suspended, originally because of surcharges and after that for DWLI tickets I have not paid so they were reported to the Omni Failure to Appear whatever and warrants were issued. I worked 19 miles from my home so I continue to drive. I don’t have a car so I borrow friends or mostly drive my boyfriends. Recently I rear ended a car on the interstate. She slammed on her breaks and I did too but her car stopped faster than mine. Knowing that I would be arrested and my boyfriends car impounded, I panicked and ran. Now of course my boyfriend has received calls from a detective and his and their insurance adjusters. I know that was so stupid. My boyfriend wasn’t aware at first so he honestly answered he had no clue when asked about the accident.

Answer

Talk with an attorney first. Neither will believe him if he tells them he wasn’t aware of what you did when he first spoke with them.
