🚨 When You WON’T Go to Jail for an Accident
❌ If It Was a Genuine Mistake – If the accident was unintentional, without rashness or negligence, jail is unlikely. ✅
❌ If Proper Medical Help Was Given – Courts consider if the accused helped the victim instead of fleeing. 🏥
❌ If the Matter is Settled Amicably – In minor cases, out-of-court settlements may be allowed. 🤝
