Article 62 Federal Criminal Code

When by negligence (culpa) damage is occasioned to another's property that is not greater than the equivalent to one hundred times the minimum wage, it shall be sanctioned with a fine of up to the value of the damage caused, plus the reparation of the latter. The same sanction shall be applied when the negligent (culposo) crime is occasioned by reason of the traffic of vehicles whatever the value of the damage.

When by negligence (culpa) and by reason of the traffic of vehicles injuries are caused, whatever their nature, action shall only proceed at the request of the offended party or of his legitimate representative, provided that the driver has not been found in a state of intoxication or under the influence of narcotics, psychotropic substances or of any other substance that produces similar effects and the victim has not been left abandoned.
