Atlanta, Georgia DUI Serious Injuries

While driving under the influence (DUI) in Atlanta is a serious charge in and of itself, you could be subject to increased penalties if you were involved in an alcohol-related accident that resulted in serious injuries. Because alcohol is involved in a quarter of traffic deaths in Georgia each year, legislators have created harsh penalties for drunk drivers who are responsible for accidents with injuries. If you are facing an Atlanta, Georgia DUI serious injury charge, you should immediately contact a qualified lawyer to defend your case.

A DUI case with serious injuries is classified as a felony offense, punishable by up to 15 years in state prison. If the accident resulted in death, you could face 3-15 years in prison. In addition to prison time, you may be subject to large fines, community service, alcohol treatment, and DUI School.

If convicted of a felony, you will be prohibited from voting, owning firearms, and working in education or government positions. You may also face difficulties when renting an apartment or applying for a job due to your criminal record.

A DUI lawyer may work with an accident reconstruction specialist to determine the cause of your accident. By collecting evidence (such as tire marks and debris), interviewing eyewitnesses, and reviewing police reports, the accident reconstruction specialist can piece together the events that led to the collision. If the specialist determines that you were not at fault for the accident, you may be able to win your DUI serious injury case.
