San Diego DUI Vehicular Manslaughter Lawyers

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT Vehicular Manslaughter and DUI

The words "vehicular manslaughter" don't just sound scary - they are. Penalties for vehicular manslaughter with a DUI component can range from mandatory prison time to hefty fines and worse. But what is vehicular manslaughter? And how does it relate to DUI?

Our legal system has evolved to be very primitive towards even suspected drunk drivers. Though everyone is innocent until proven guilty, vehicular manslaughter charges in California can often be bandied about for accused DUI drivers who get in unavoidable accidents or accidents for which they were not at fault. Formally, vehicular manslaughter charges are brought when a driver is suspected of causing an accident (through negligence or violation of laws) that causes a death.

Though vehicular manslaughter charges are serious, they do not always result in a felony conviction. Misdemeanor charges of vehicular manslaughter with DUI can result in up to a year of time served in the county jail; felony charges can escalate time served to up to four years in a state prison. In addition, the state imposes significant penalties such as license restrictions or suspensions, community service, probation, etc. These charges and penalties depend on the severity of the case and the quality of the accused legal defense.
