What are the penalties for DUI hit and run?
While the penalties for leaving the scene of an accident alone are severe, an individual who is also accused of drunk driving can expect to face increased penalties. This applies whether or not the accused driver actually caused the accident or was struck by another driver. Hit and run is a crime, regardless of who was at fault in the collision. Sound legal counsel is a crucial component to obtain after a DUI accident.
If a driver is arrested and charged with a DUI hit and run they may face:
- Up to 4 years in prison
- Fines of up to $2,500
- License suspension
- Enrollment in a substance abuse program
- Community service
All of these penalties may have a significant impact on your life, leaving you with a criminal record. If there was severe injury, damage, or even fatality, the consequences will be even more serious for the offender.
