    Default Pennsylvania DUI and Hit and Run

    My question involves an injury that occurred in the state of: Pennsylvania

    My 22 year old daughter was arrested for Dui and hit and run of a parked car.
    She was taken in handcuffs to hospital for blood tests and then to police dept where she stayed until she was picked up 3 hrs later.
    She had borrowed my car which is registered in Maryland where I live because I have not been able to drive due to surgeries.
    My questions are what do we do now no one in family has ever had this kind of problem and I have no idea what needs to be done.
    She has no money to hire a lawyer.
    She is on my insurance as a driver.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Report the accident to your insurer if you haven't already.
    She needs a lawyer, if she is indigent she should ask for a public defender at the prelim.
    Obviously the damage to the parked car will need to be covered.
    If this is her first offense, Pennsylvania has a program called ARD which while at the discretion of the prosecutor is a usual disposition.
    She'll get a license suspension for 60 days and have to jump through some other hoops (alcohol eval, etc...). This is going to cost her.
    The good news is most counties in PA will let my pay your costs over time.
