Q: Is it leaving the scene of an accident if i was unaware or the accident. I was unaware of a slight rub of a parked vehicle when leaving a parking space I have a large truck and weather was very windy.

Lawyers agree
Answered . Unfortunately, intent (or knowledge) is not a requirement for leaving the scene of property damage just like intent is not part of the element of speeding or failure to obey a stop sign. You, as a driver, are tasked with being aware of roadway conditions, traffic, and all attendant circumstances.
The good news is that if it only involved property damage and if you contact the law enforcement agency's "hit and run" division and provide them with your driver, registration and insurance information then the overwhelming odds are that you will be given a citation (or 2) and sent on your way. If there were injuries then all bets are off. You are facing a felony and will have to be arrested and booked.

It is always best to have a lawyer broker the transaction for you, as a lawyer can assist you in ensuring that you are treated properly, fairly and do not make incriminating statements against your own interest. (If you go in alone, pro se, then the cops most likely will seek to torque a statement out of you, albeit probably in a gentle / psychological manner.)
Either way my advise is for you to hire a 407 area criminal defense lawyer to assist you in brokering your "surrender" and providing you assurances as to what will happen, how it will happen and being prepared to deal with whatever eventualities may come your way.
I hope this has been helpful and wish you good luck.
