What could happen if I caused a hit and run?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Peter B Castleberry (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Castleberry & Elison, P.C.
It depends on the the type of accident. Under Oregon law, there are basically two different types of "hit and run" crimes. If you are in an accident that involves only property damage, you could potentially be charged with Failure to Perform the Duties of a Driver When Property is Damaged (ORS 811.700). This crime is a class A misdemeanor which carries up to one year in jail and a maximum fine of $6,250. If you are in accident that involved injury to a person, you could potentially be charged with Failure to Perform the Duties of a Driver to Injured Persons (ORS 811.705). This crime is a class C felony which carries a maximum of 5 years in prison and a maximum $125,000 fine. If the accident involved "serious physical injury" to another, the crime can be charged as a class B felony which carries up to 10 years jail and a $250,000 fine. However, the statutory maximums for felonies can be very misleading and a person convicted of felony "hit and run" will not serve anywhere near the statutory maximum, even if sentenced by the harshest judge. In "hit and run" scenarios, the prosecutor may also choose to charge the crime of Reckless Driving, which is a class A misdemeanor.

How should I keep my license from being suspended?

Since you are paying for everything pay for your attorney. Everything else you are supposedly paying for is going away if you lose your license.

What does it mean when the chief justice says that the case will be under advisement?

They will decide the case and send a notice of decision to you. I am assuming California because there is only one Chief Justice and that is of the Supreme Court of California. Could also be the US Supreme Court.
