What happens if I get a DWI DUI and someone is injured or killed?
If you are arrested for a DWI/DUI because you got in an accident that injured or killed someone, you will be charged with either criminal vehicular operation (CVO) or criminal vehicular homicide (CVH). These are very serious charges that are generally felonies.
Felony CVO and CVH can lead to prison time. On top of that, your license will be taken away for a longer time than a regular DWI/DUI. Prosecutors take these cases very seriously, as there is an actual victim in the case, or in the case of a CVH, a victim’s family, that are very invested in the outcome.
If you are charged with CVO or CVH, contact the attorneys at Gerald Miller, P.A. to get a free consultation today. These are extremely serious cases, and you will need an attorney to make sure that your rights and future are protected.
