What are the Penalties for a Hit & Run in California?

The penalties for a hit and run in California depend on the severity of the incident. If the incident resulted in death or severe injury, the driver faces up to four years in state prison and/or a fine of up to $10,000. Suppose property damage occurred, and the driver left without providing information. In that case, they may face misdemeanor charges which carry potential jail time of up to six months and/or a maximum fine of $1,000.
