Most DUI cases discussed in this video are misdemeanor cases, but a collision causing serious bodily injury or death can raise much more serious allegations.
When a DUI-related collision results in serious bodily injury, the driver may face a felony DUI injury charge. A collision resulting in a death may lead to a felony DUI death charge.
Both situations create a substantial risk of lengthy confinement in state prison. A felony DUI case requires careful review of the allegations and the evidence connecting the driving, collision, and resulting harm.
