South Carolina has several offenses commonly described as hit-and-run. The central questions include whether a collision occurred and whether the driver remained to provide information and assist those involved as required.
The circumstances affect the seriousness. A collision with an unattended parked vehicle differs from one involving an occupied vehicle, bodily injury, or serious bodily injury.
A collision resulting in death can create especially severe consequences. When these allegations accompany DUI, a DUI hit-and-run attorney must review the facts and each charge separately.
