A: There isn't enough information about the "accident" to talk about what might happen to you. If your boyfriend injured? Is it really an accident? I suggest you stop posting on public web sites and get a consultation with a criminal defense attorney.

A: If it truly was an accident and this is a serious question you have a consultation with a local attorney. The odds are pretty good that they won't file charges against you unless you were reckless in your behavior that caused the "accident" to happen.
