DUI Accidents

DUI Accident Defense Lawyer in Chicago

Accidents Caused by Driving Under the Influence

Being convicted of DUI can lead to serious consequences. In addition to facing driver's license suspension, a defendant may face the very real potential for time spent behind bars. While many offenders are first time violators this does not mean that they will be treated lightly. If the arrest was solely for DUI, with no other aggravating circumstances, then it is most likely that the charge will be treated as a misdemeanor. However, DUI accidents are typically charged as felonies. A defendant facing charges related to any of the following may face extremely serious penalties:

  • An accident involving bodily injury or death
  • Fleeing the scene of an accident involving injury or death
  • Fleeing and evading the police

Without doubt, DUI combined with an auto accident makes matters much worse, even if property damage was the only result.
