I suppose because if I choose to, I can legally step around them and try to make my appointment, and just not get involved. No one has that obligation because there is no right to health care. You cannot leave the scene of an auto accident without rendering or offering to render assistance.... Failure to Stop and Render Aid Since automobiles first hit the road, states have developed a range of laws about driving. Driving a car is considered a legal privilege, not a right. As part of that privilege, state laws impose both limitations and duties on drivers whenever they get behind the wheel. One of these duties is the duty to stop and help when you've been involved in a car crash or accident. While each state's “stop and render aid” law differs slightly, almost all states impose a legal duty on drivers to stop, identify themselves, or provide assistance whenever they're involved in a car crash. Assistance laws are sometimes referred to as “hit and run” laws because they are designed to prevent people from leaving an accident scene. Being involved in a car accident doesn't always mean that someone acted illegally or committed a crime. However, any accident can result in criminal charges if a driver chooses not to stop, identify, or provide help. It's not the accident that creates the crime, it's the driver's actions afterward that do. Here are some of the common responsibilities that states impose. Stop After Accidents or Crashes State stop and assist laws sometimes require drivers to assist after “accidents.” However, these laws apply whenever a driver is involved in any type of crash, collision, accident, intentional act, or any event that results in damage or injury, not just accidents. criminaldefenselawyer.com
