Death caused by a traffic accident is suspected of a criminal offence. If you are suspected of a criminal offence, it will definitely affect the next generation. If convicted, it means having a criminal record, which will affect the employment of the next generation of children.
Whether the death caused by a traffic accident constitutes a crime and whether it needs to bear criminal responsibility depends on whether the consequences caused by the accident and the responsibility it bears conform to the criminal circumstances stipulated in the criminal law of our country. However, in most traffic accident cases, the perpetrator actively compensated, obtained the understanding of the injured party, pleaded guilty with a good attitude, and was sentenced to probation and would not go to jail. Of course, the final probation is decided by the judge according to the comprehensive facts of the case.
If a traffic accident leads to death, it is not only necessary to bear economic compensation, but also to bear criminal responsibility sometimes. If a car accident causes death and constitutes a criminal offence, the perpetrator may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment or criminal detention, and the more serious the consequences, the more severe the punishment. Therefore, we must abide by the traffic rules, and at the same time, we must not commit any illegal acts such as driving without a license, drunk driving, toxic driving, serious overloading, driving scrapped vehicles, etc.
