Are You Facing DUI with Accident Charges?

A driver who is convicted of driving under the influence (DUI) faces serious  penalties including jail time and heavy fines. When a driver is arrested or charged for intoxicated driving that has caused an accident, the penalties become more severe. In some instances, a driver facing DUI charges can suddenly be facing  vehicular manslaughter as well because of a  DUI involving an accident. 

If another person is severely injured or killed, the responsible driver can face felony charges that can lead to up to 10 years in prison or longer depending upon the number of victims involved. If you are charged with the crime of a DUI accident, it is extremely important that you contact a Los Angeles DUI lawyer immediately to help avoid conviction and to build an effective defense. 

There are many circumstances which must be investigated in a DUI accident case including the person who is responsible for the accident, if the defendant was actually intoxicated, and if the blood,  breath or  field sobriety tests used to determine if the driver was intoxicated were administered correctly and yielded entirely accurate results.  

A DUI involving an accident conviction can leave a negative mark on a person's criminal background and can have serious ramifications for a person's future including causing missed job opportunities or putting hardships on the convicted person or their family.
