Get an attorney. This is too serious to attempt to handle on your own.

The careless driving ticket is less serious than the leaving the scene. However both of these charges are difficult to prove without witnesses. You also might have a defense to the leaving the scene. You should consult a lawyer, while you are unlikely to face jail time on a charge like this, they can have major repercussions on your DL record and insurance.
