ARE YOU FACING VEHICULAR MANSLAUGHTER CHARGES
When an individual gets behind the wheel of a motor vehicle, they are expected to adhere to the rules of the road and the laws of the state. Driving under the influence is illegal in the state of California. Any individual who is found operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or more will be facing DUI charges. It is extremely important, in order to build an effective and aggressive DUI defense, that you contact a San Francisco DUI lawyer from the criminal defense law firm of Okabe & Haushalter as soon as possible.
If driving under the influence resulted in an accident with serious injuries, you could be facing a DUI with injury charge and significantly increased DUI penalties. Should a fatality occur as a result of your DUI accident, you could be looking at felony vehicular manslaughter charges in addition to your DUI charge. Vehicular manslaughter is the unplanned, unintentional. or accidental criminal act of causing the unlawful death of another person. Manslaughter is a felony offense, so the penalties are severe and may include between 2 to 11 years in prison, heavy fines, probation, mandatory DUI program, loss of your license, community service, and more.
