According to Shouse Law, a " felony hit and run carries penalties of a fine of between one thousand dollars ($1,000) and ten thousand dollars ($10,000) plus sixteen (16) months to three (3) years in state prison. If someone (other than the defendant) was killed or suffered a permanent, serious injury in the accident, the state prison sentence rises to two (2) to four (4) years."
