And suing someone or taking them to court may be an option for you.

Can you go to jail for accidentally hitting someone. But a driver who strikes a pedestrian and then flees the scene will likely face criminal charges possibly even a felony arrest for hit and run and a potential prison sentence. If you accidentally hit a person with your car you could potentially be charged with vehicle-related offenses such as distracted driving DUI etc depending on the totality of the circumstances. Depending on the state you could be fined have your license revoked or serve a jail term.

Drivers whose negligent actions accidentally cause accidents resulting in the deaths of their passengers pedestrians or other cars occupants could find themselves in jail due to a charge of vehicular manslaughter. If you are charged with careless or dangerous driving that has either killed or seriously injured a pedestrian there is every chance that you could be facing time in prison. Can you sue someone for killing or injuring your dog or other pet.

It is possible that you will go to jail but only in certain circumstances. Drunkard driving is prohibited in almost all states in the United States and even around. Lets say you hurt someone and you have an insurance policy with Tennessee Farm Bureau Insurance Company.

And nothing has happened to me. The consequences are even direr if you hit and injure a person or kill them yet you dont have insurance coverage. Losing a loved one is never easy for anyone.

And what if its there fault. It can be an intoxication from drugs or alcohol. The typical answer here is yes.

Up to 10 years in prison. Ive hit 3 separate people with my car. If there was nothing other than a minor injury or bruised ego the it sounds as if the person throwing the punch would be charged with an assault in the fourth degree a gross misdemeanor for which she would be facing a 364 day maximum sentence.
