If you fail to report an accident in the state of Georgia you can be charged with hit-and-run. It makes no difference whether the vehicle or object hit was occupied, observed or not. The simple act of hitting a guard rail is an accident. It should be reported to the authorities. Whether or not you will be charged depends upon the circumstances.
Failure to report an accident can result in significant criminal charges against you.
The law requires that you stop your vehicle look for the owner of the property damaged,
and if you are unable to find said owner, you are required to leave identifying information and contact information for the owner. Anything less is considered a hit and run, leaving the scene of an accident.

- My son was arrested for racing, and reckless driving. I called attorney Scott Miller for help. He went to work right away to help us. Attorney Miller had my son take a defensive driving course and perform 40 hours of community service. Scott also had my son write a 300 word essay about the dangers of driving fast. When we went to court, Attorney Miller got my sons charges reduced and he was able to keep his drivers license. Thank you Scott for helping a mother and her son in there time of need. I recommend attorney Scott Miller highly. He is the best. A grateful mother in Alpharetta, GA.
- I was given a super speeder ticket on GA–400. I was not disappointed, he got the ticket dismissed and prevented me from having points on my license, and paying the super speeder fine. I recommend him to anyone with a speeding ticket. Alberto: Roswell, Ga.
