Whether the perpetrator who died in a car accident bears criminal responsibility mainly depends on whether it constitutes a crime of causing traffic accidents. Medical institutions shall promptly rescue the injured in traffic accidents, and shall not delay the treatment because the rescue expenses are not paid in time. If the vehicle involved in the accident participates in compulsory motor vehicle third-party liability insurance, the insurance company shall pay the rescue expenses within the liability limit. The responsibility of car accidents depends on the division of responsibility, not the identification of accident responsibility by traffic control departments, but the division of responsibility in administrative law and criminal law. In the sense of administrative law, the division of responsibilities is determined by the traffic control department to solve the problems of administrative punishment and civil compensation, based on the standard of accident liability identification in this municipality; The division of responsibility is based on the division of responsibility in the sense of administrative law, and it is determined by comprehensively considering the causal relationship between illegal acts and accidents in the sense of criminal elements. In criminal defense, lawyers should carefully analyze and determine whether they are fully responsible, mainly responsible or equally responsible. If not, they can plead not guilty. Rescue expenses exceed the liability limit, and did not participate in compulsory motor vehicle third-party liability insurance or escape after the accident, the road traffic accident social assistance fund shall advance part or all of the rescue expenses, and the road traffic accident social assistance fund management institution has the right to recover from the person responsible for the traffic accident.

If criminal responsibility is not pursued, if it has been pursued, the case shall be dismissed, or prosecution shall not be initiated, or the trial shall be terminated, or the case shall be declared innocent:

(a) if the circumstances are obviously minor and the harm is not great, it is not considered a crime;

(two) the crime has passed the limitation period;

(3) Being exempted from punishment by an amnesty order;

(4) Failing to tell or withdrawing a crime that should be dealt with only after being told according to the Criminal Law;

(5) The criminal suspect or defendant dies;

(six) other laws and regulations shall be exempted from criminal responsibility.
