I unintentionally committed a hit-and-run while drunk driving. At the time of the accident, I was so frightened that I simply fled the scene, and I was then charged with a drunk driving hit-and-run. How large a drunk driving hit-and-run fine will I have to pay? This is also my first time drinking and driving, so I am frightened and anxious about what the punishment will be and how large the hit-and-run fine will be. I know that this is my fault, but I would like to receive the help of a drunk driving hit-and-run attorney.

In situations where a driver causes casualties after drunk driving and then flees, such a drunk driving hit-and-run case, compared with ordinary drunk driving, is punished more severely. A hit-and-run refers to the offense of leaving the scene after causing an accident in violation of the duty to rescue the victim and to report the accident. When drunk driving is combined with a hit-and-run rather than an ordinary hit-and-run, if the victim suffers injury, the offender faces imprisonment for a definite term of at least 1 year, or a fine ranging from 5 million won to 30 million won, a drunk driving hit-and-run fine, may be imposed, and if the victim dies, life imprisonment or imprisonment for at least 5 years may be imposed.
