DUI Accident Attorney in Lynnwood
DUI Charges Involving an Accident
Penalties for a
DUI conviction are already very steep without the addition of an aggravating factor. They can include:
- Fines in the thousands of dollars
- Mandatory enrollment in DUI classes
- License suspension for a period of years
- Probation
- Community service
- Ignition interlock device
- Up to 150 days of electronic home monitoring
- Up to 1 year in jail
When you add the occurrence of an accident to one's DUI charges, these penalties can be increased, and should another be injured or killed as a result of the accident, the penalties can be increased even further. If you have been charged with causing an accident due to DUI, it is crucial that you contact a Lynnwood DUI attorney as soon as possible. Attempting to face your charges on your own may increase your chances of a conviction and penalties that substantially alter your life for the worse.
