Was für Strafen sind möglich?

At the driver’s curse. Doesn’t matter if someone has a serious injury or just a light one. It may entail fines and prison sentences, as well as the withdrawal of the licence.

This is clearly regulated in the Criminal Code. Here is the corresponding paragraph:

Criminal Code (StGB)

§ 142 Unauthorized removal from the accident site

(1) An accident operator who, after an accident in road traffic, moves away from the accident site before he

is punished with imprisonment for up to three years or with a fine.

(2) In accordance with paragraph 1, an accident participant shall also be punished.

has been removed from the site of the accident and the findings are not immediately made possible subsequently.

(3) The obligation to make the findings possible subsequently shall be met by the accident operator if he informs the person entitled (paragraph 1 no. 1) or a nearby police station that he has been involved in the accident, and when he enters his address, his stay, the registration number and the location of his vehicle, and that he considers it available to him for immediate findings for a reasonable time. This does not apply if he intentionally verifies the findings by his behaviour.

(4) In the cases of paragraphs 1 and 2, the court alleviates the penalty (section 49 para. 1) or may abstain from punishment under these provisions if, within twenty-four hours after an accident outside the flowing traffic, which results exclusively in non-essential damage, the accident participant voluntarily makes the findings possible subsequently (paragraph 3).
