I scraped a car and left my number on their windshield. I went into the restaurant and when I returned they had left. I did not leave the scene of the accident. so far I have not been returning calls because I can not afford this.

I've worked at a law firm before, too. I still don't know. Avoiding phone calls doesn't sound the same as hit and run. Hit and run means leaving the scene of the accident without leaving contact information. I left my number, and an officer called who didn't seem to know any of my information.

They did call the police apparently, so it would make sense not to talk to the police. She called them the next day. It is immoral, unfortunately, morality cant pay my bills.

You should have left more than just a number, plus you should have contacted the Police. You better answer the phone. You could be charged with failing to report an accident.

I would say yes that it is hit and run. If an officer called you then the other person has already spoken to the police. You are required to leave your information. But to the officer your information may seem bogus because you can't be reached. Besides leaving just your phone number good enough if you can't be reached. I would say that when the officer could not get a hold of you a hit and run report was taken. Stand by......
You have turned something so little into something that can bite you hard. Your best bet is to contact the police immediately.

You cannot be expected to sit at someones car and wait for them. You made a reasonable attempt to let the person know what you had done and a way to contact you. Nothing more you can do.
If you do not return the phone calls of that person, however, you can be charged with other crimes.

If you are ducking reimbursement for a screw-up, then you are denying compensation for something you are responsible for. As far as being charged, there was no police report. You need a cop to fill out a report, before you can be charged. If they didn't call the cops, you should be ok, there. Morally, you ain't showing me much.

No. You left your info. Proven by their calls. Your only guilty on Avoiding the calls. Set a payment plan with them if you don't have insurance or you can just wait till they sue you. Sorry.

if you leave your info then don't take their calls or contact your respective ins co's yes that's liable to get you charged with a hit and run.
too bad if you can't afford it- you did it- you will either pay out of pocket or possibly with jail time or both...
don't be a britney spears- if you hit someone step up and deal with it

Answer the calls and co-operate with the police. Technically, they can charge you.

if you are intentionally avoiding calls then yes you will eventually be served paper and/or sued. Call them back immediately.
