Types of Vehicular Offenses We Handle
Aggravated Vehicular Assault
Aggravated vehicular assault is considered to be the offense of causing
serious bodily injury to another while in operation of a vehicle. This
can be tried as a second or third-degree felony offense with years in
state prison as a result of a conviction.
Aggravated Vehicular Homicide
Similar to vehicular assault, aggravated vehicular homicide involves the
injury of another with your vehicle, however in this case the injury leads
to the death of the victim. It can be classified as a first or second-degree
felony with even harsher consequences for a convicted felon.
Drag Racing
What is considered drag racing? Drag racing, according to the law is considered
any exhibition of speed or acceleration that appears to be inconsistent
with normal operations of a vehicle on any type of public street or highway.
Nitrous Oxide & Motor Vehicle
If you use nitrous oxide in your car, truck or SUV, you are subject to
harsh consequences as set out by the law. In accordance with the law,
any person who sells nitrous oxide must keep a record of their customers
for at least the previous two years.
Ohio Fleeing & Eluding
If you have gotten in trouble with the law for fleeing the scene or failing
to comply with law enforcement, you may be facing serious consequences.
These charges may be tried as a felony or misdemeanor offense, depending
on your criminal record and the nature of the offense.
Ohio Hit-Skip
Fleeing the scene of the accident is not only considered to be immoral,
but it is also against the law. In many cases, however, a simple miscommunication
has led one party in an accident to leave the scene. In a situation such
as this, you will need an aggressive attorney to help counter these charges.
Reckless Driving
If you're facing reckless driving charges, you know that the prosecution
is out to convict you. Without an attorney, you will most likely face
maximum penalties for this seemingly harmless offense. Calling the team
at KBN is strongly suggested when facing the serious vehicular offense
of reckless driving.
Case Example Our client, a 24-year-old sergeant in the Army National Guard, was charged with 4 counts of Aggravated Vehicular Assault and DUI / OVI after he made a left turn into an oncoming vehicle. The accident resulted in serious physical harm to the occupants of the other vehicle. As indicted, the client was facing a mandatory 1-5 years in prison. After 1 1/2 years of representation and on the day of trial, the prosecutor agreed to amend the indictment to 2 misdemeanor counts. Our client received a non-prison term and probation.
