Will those who have been in a car accident without causing death go to jail?

If the person who died in a traffic accident bears the main responsibility or all the responsibilities, he shall be investigated for criminal responsibility for the crime of causing traffic accidents. If the actor makes positive compensation to the victim, he may be given a lighter punishment as appropriate. Under certain circumstances, such as no other aggravating circumstances, good guilty attitude, occasional crime or first-time offense, the court may grant probation. In this case, you don't have to go to jail. However, if the circumstances are serious and aggravated, even if they are actively compensated, they will be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment.
