Arrested for DUI with Injury? Get defense from an experienced OVI lawyer!

Being involved in a car accident is frightening enough. Add drunk driving charges into the mix? The situation becomes even more serious. Law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and the media have placed a heavy emphasis on cracking down on drunk drivers, so if police find any trace of alcohol in your system after an accident, you will unfortunately be facing an uphill battle. In many cases, even if you were not the cause of the accident, blame could be shifted to you simply because you had a BAC over 0.00 percent.

The state of Ohio is not kind to drunk drivers who injure people in accidents. Per §2903.08 of the Ohio Revised Code, DUI causing injury is a form of aggravated vehicular assault (causing serious physical harm to another person while operating a motor vehicle while in violation of §4511.19). It is a third degree felony. In cases where the alcohol-involved accident causes death, the defendant could even be charged with vehicular homicide or involuntary vehicular manslaughter.
