I am curious about the severity of punishment and the fine for a parking hit-and-run.

Hello. We will explain the severity of punishment for a parking hit-and-run that you asked about.

The failure to take measures after an accident, commonly called a hit-and-run, constitutes an act violating the measures required at the time of an accident under Article 54 of the Road Traffic Act.

As in the situation you inquired about, if a person damages a parked vehicle and then leaves the scene without making a proper contact or taking measures, they may become subject to criminal punishment.

If it is judged to be a failure to take measures after an accident, imprisonment for not more than five years or a fine not exceeding 15 million won may be imposed, and where a traffic accident occurs in which only a parked or stopped vehicle is damaged, a fine not exceeding 200,000 won, among others, may be imposed.

As in your situation regarding punishment for a parking hit-and-run, if dashcam footage has not been secured, you must identify the perpetrator by checking the parking lot CCTV and the dashcams of nearby vehicles.

With the help of an attorney specializing in this area, we recommend that you secure photographs of the damaged area and a repair estimate so that you can accurately prove the harm.

Because a lawsuit for damages is also possible if necessary, we recommend that you obtain the assistance of an attorney who has experience with many cases involving punishment for a parking hit-and-run.
