Whether incarceration is required after a DUI hit-and-run conviction depends on the specific case. One important consideration is the driver’s history of DUI charges.
Another major factor is the condition of the other person involved, whether that person was another driver or a pedestrian. Injury, serious injury, or death can substantially increase the severity of the consequences.
Cases involving serious injury or death may expose a driver to years of incarceration. The particular charges and circumstances must be examined to understand the applicable consequences.
