DUI With Injuries

Atlanta DUI Attorney

When someone drinks and drives and the result is an accident resulting in injuries, serious repercussions can follow.  There can be many circumstances that lead to an accident involving injuries that had nothing to do with your state of inebriation, especially if the other driver was at fault in the accident.  If you are accused of DUI with injury, you need to invoke your right to an attorney and call an experienced Atlanta DUI lawyer at Ross & Pines, LLC at your earliest opportunity.  We have the skills required to rigorously examine the factors in your case and will ensure that your rights under the law are protected.     

In the state of Georgia, any DUI related accident that results in a serious injury can be charged as a felony, without regard to one's previous record.  That means that even a first DUI can lead to felony charges.  Prosecutors seek to severely punish the driver and usually exercise no leniency towards them.  Penalties for conviction can include from one to 15 years in prison, fines, substance abuse requirements, probation, community service and loss of driving privileges.  Just because you are charged with a crime doesn't mean that you are guilty, however, or that the prosecution can prove their case.
