DUI MANSLAUGHTER

DUI Manslaughter

 

When an allegation of drunk driving caused or contributed to the death of another person, the crime can be charged as "DUI manslaughter" which is a second-degree felony that has penalties that include jail time of up to 15 years in prison. Even harsher penalties can apply if the driver left the scene of the accident. The cases involve single and multiple vehicle collisions involving pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, commercial motor vehicles, trucks, and automobiles. The attorney defending these type of cases must be well versed in chemistry, forensic science, and pharmacology as these cases almost always involve blood draws.

 

Mr. Bernstein has completed the Science Curriculum  at the National College for DUI Defense as well as taken courses at Axion Labs in Chicago where they train scientists on the instruments that are used to test and interpret the blood results. He is intimately familiar with the process and how to attack errors from the laboratory testing the blood results.

 

If an accident, and death occurs, even days, weeks or months after the accident, the charge will be elevated to DUI manslaughter.

If you are facing a DUI involving death, immediately hiring a highly skilled experienced attorney, is the smartest thing you can do. The state immediately starts conducting an accident reconstruction, subpeona's your "black box" information from your vehicle and subpeona's your social media, bank records and looks for videos of where you were that night as well as who you were with and how much you drank. You must immediately start your own investigation as evidence dissipates as time goes on. Anything you say can, and will, be used against you.  By contacting the law offices of Alan S.
