DUI With Injury: Criminal Defense From A Skilled DUI Lawyer In Miami

Driving under the influence (DUI) charges are serious enough offenses, but when a DUI accident occurs and results in the injury of another person, a simple DUI charge can become something much bigger. When any type of accident occurs, it is not uncommon for injuries to be sustained. Injuries after an accident are not necessarily out of the ordinary, but if your DUI accident involved an injury — serious or catastrophic in nature — a DUI offense can quickly escalate from a misdemeanor to a felony charge.

With the recent crackdown on drunk driving based on stricter Florida legislation, DUI with injury charges can lead to serious, life-changing consequences. Because DUI with injury offenses have become a frequent problem in Florida, anti-drunk driving organizations — such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving — have been advocating for harsher consequences in an effort to stop people from driving while intoxicated with alcohol or drugs. Florida’s lawmakers have listened and seek to prosecute these types of DUI-related offenses to the fullest extent of the law.

Unfortunately, this push for prosecution has led to innocent individuals being tried for crimes they did not commit. Whether you are innocent of the crime or simply made a mistake in judgment, you will need a fierce legal representative on your side to protect your rights. To avoid the maximum charges, speak with a Miami DUI attorney as soon as possible.

Effective, Aggressive And Strong Representation

DUI with injury, including DUI manslaughter and DUI manslaughter with a prior conviction, can be among the most serious DUI offenses. If a victim was killed due to your DUI-related accident, you could be subject to serious felony penalties, including permanent license suspension, up to 15 years in prison, and $10,000 in fines. A DUI manslaughter charge can increase if you have been previously convicted of a DUI-related offense.

DUI with injury cases are incredibly complex and demand the attention of a DUI defense attorney in Miami who can address all of the evidence efficiently. As a former criminal prosecutor with more than 40 years of experience, I am in a unique position to offer strong legal insight and can look at your case from all angles. I can construct a defense strategy that not only can anticipate what prosecutors may try to do, but also protect your rights.

I can analyze the following potential defenses to create the best strategy for you:

  • External causes of the crash, such as bad weather or road conditions
  • Valid proof that you caused the accident or were driving
  • Non-compliance with lawful police search procedures
  • Challenge evidence that suggests high BAC
  • Investigate all avenues of the case, including expert opinions and key witness statements.
