Leyes de Atropello y Fuga en Alaska: Penas y Que Hacer

Preguntas frecuentes

¿Es el atropello y fuga un delito grave en Alaska?

Depende de la infracción especifica. Darse a la fuga tras un accidente (AS 28.35.050) es un delito menor. Sin embargo, no prestar asistencia razonable a una persona herida (AS 28.35.060) conlleva penas a nivel de delito grave de hasta 10 años de prisión y una multa de $10,000. Los fiscales también pueden presentar cargos adicionales de delito grave, como homicidio culposo, si alguien muere.

¿Cuál es el plazo de prescripción para el atropello y fuga en Alaska?

Los cargos penales deben presentarse dentro de cinco años del incidente bajo AS 12.10.010. El plazo se detiene si el sospechoso abandona Alaska. Las víctimas tienen dos años desde la fecha del accidente para presentar una demanda civil por lesiones personales bajo AS 09.10.070.

¿El seguro de motorista sin seguro cubre un atropello y fuga en Alaska?

Sí, en la mayoría de los casos. La cobertura de motorista sin seguro (UM) aplica a situaciones de atropello y fuga en Alaska, incluyendo cuando su vehículo estacionado es chocado por un conductor no identificado, aunque si tanto el conductor como el vehículo son desconocidos, la cobertura requiere contacto físico directo entre los vehículos, y el conductor que huyó se presume sin seguro solo si usted reporta el accidente dentro de 24 horas. La cobertura UM de lesión corporal paga facturas médicas y salarios perdidos. La cobertura UM de daños materiales paga las reparaciones del vehículo, sujeto a un deducible de hasta $250.

¿Qué pasa si me doy a la fuga estando intoxicado en Alaska?

Enfrentara múltiples cargos. Además de los cargos por atropello y fuga bajo AS 28.35.050 y AS 28.35.060, enfrentara cargos de DUI bajo AS 28.35.030. Una primera infracción de DUI es un delito menor Clase A con un mínimo obligatorio de 72 horas de prisión. Si alguien muere, también puede enfrentar cargos de homicidio culposo.

¿Puedo ser acusado de atropello y fuga si no tuve la culpa del accidente?

Sí. Los cargos de atropello y fuga se basan en darse a la fuga sin cumplir con sus deberes legales, no en quien causó el accidente. Incluso si el otro conductor causó la colisión, usted sigue obligado a detenerse, intercambiar información y prestar asistencia a cualquier persona herida. No hacerlo es una infracción penal aparte.

Actualizaciones

Fixed the AS 28.15.181 license-revocation ladder (it had copied the DUI schedule from subsection (c) instead of the failure-to-render-aid schedule in subsection (b): 30 days/1 year/3 years, not 90 days/1 year/3 years/5 years) and restored two qualifiers on uninsured-motorist coverage for hit-and-run victims (the physical-contact requirement when both driver and vehicle are unknown, and the 24-hour reporting window for the uninsured presumption).
