How many days notice for a minor hit-and-run?
1 Answers
For a minor hit-and-run, notice is typically given within 3 to 7 days. After a hit-and-run accident is reported and accepted by the traffic police, the case will be concluded within three months. If an appraisal institution needs to be commissioned for inspection or appraisal, the traffic police will notify the appraisal institution within three days. The appraisal period should not exceed twenty days. Once the appraisal results are available, the traffic police will send the appraisal report to the parties involved within three days. If there are no disputes regarding the appraisal results, the traffic police will issue a road traffic accident determination within five days after the appraisal conclusion is confirmed. They will also impose penalties for any traffic violations according to the law, and the hit-and-run offender will receive a penalty notice within five days. For minor hit-and-run cases, civil litigation or criminal prosecution may be pursued depending on the severity of the consequences. Although there is no strict time limit for reporting a hit-and-run, it is advisable to report it as soon as possible to help the police preserve the scene, collect evidence, and determine liability.
