What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Connecticut
This morning on my way to work, a car swerved into my lane and hit the back drivers door of my car. There was no injuries and the damage was fairly minor. We pulled over and I saw the damage was minimal and informed the other driver not to worry about it and that I would pay for the damage. The reason I did this is because I had a very important meeting this morning that if I didn't get to on time, I probably would have lost my job.
I know this wasn't the right thing to do, but what are the possibilities of me getting arrested for this even though the accident wasn't my fault? The other driver was concerned that they injured me, but when I informed them that I would take care of it, they seemed ok with it. They don't have any of my info (unless they wrote down my plate number).
I know this was a dumb thing to do. But in all reality, how likely am I to be arrested? I have never been arrested before and have no tickets or violations on my record.
