If you were involved, yes, or higher charge.

If you just refused to stop to render aid, it also varies by state.

It depends on the laws in existence at the scene of the accident. At the very least, it's a misdemeanor. It could possibly be a felony.

Yes. No matter what the damage, it could be considered a hit and run. You could be charged with a misdemeanor for a minor bump or if no one is hurt, or a felony whereas it was a bad accident.
This is just assuming that you were physically involved in the accident and one of the cars that was hit was yours.

This answer would vary from state to state. In Wisconsin, it is a traffic infraction if there is property damage to an unoccupied vehicle, a misdemeanor if the vehicle is occupied, and a felony if someone is hurt.

I think it depends on whether anyone was hurt and how much damage. I've heard of felony hit and run.

yeah, or it could be a felony, depending on the accident, or if there were any injuries, or death.
