What to Do When the Other Party Flees After a Collision?

[VanNevaeh]

The party who flees or intentionally destroys, forges the scene, or destroys evidence, making it impossible to determine the liability for the traffic accident, shall bear full responsibility. According to the law, compensation costs shall be paid. If the vehicle involved in the accident is insured with third-party liability insurance, the insurance company has the obligation to make advance payments when compensation is required after a traffic accident occurs. As per regulations, those who flee, regardless of the severity of the consequences of the traffic accident they caused, will have their motor vehicle driving license revoked by the relevant authorities and will be permanently barred from obtaining it again. According to the law, fleeing after causing an accident is a statutory aggravating circumstance. If the victim dies due to untimely rescue, the perpetrator may be sentenced to more than seven years in prison.
