A HIT AND RUN IS USUALLY A MISDEMEANOR 20002 VC.

IF THERE IS SERIOUS INJURIES, IT CAN BE FILED AS A DUI WITH GREAT BODILY INJURY (GBI) AND HIT AND RUN .....BOTH AS FELONIES.

CALL A PI LAWYER

Charges for DUI can be felonies, depending on facts.

If you are injured, and have Uninsured Motorist insurance, you can recover for your medical expenses, wage loss, property damage and pain and suffering. Talk to a PI attorney.

Hit and run with property damage only is a misdemeanor by statute. Vehicle Code section 20002(d).
