Dui Car Accident

These days, any driver is taking a huge chance driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, since the penalties have increased to the point that no one can take such an arrest lightly. But it is much worse if you should get into a DUI car accident. In most states, the charge automatically becomes a felony, resulting in a criminal record, heavier fines, more points on your driving record, longer driver's license suspensions, prison time, probation, DUI classes and counseling, and in many states, an ignition-interlock device on your car, preventing you from driving with an alcohol level of .02 or more. If you should injure or cause the death of anyone in a DUI car accident, you will face penalties for every person you injured, and possibly assault with a deadly weapon charges. The penalties vary by state, but all of them are serious. You will need to consult a DUI attorney to help you through this tragic process.
