Recent studies estimate that alcohol contributes to a fatality every 33 minutes in America. DUIs also cost the public billions of dollars each year in property and other damages, loss of life and reduced productivity.
Drunk driving and DUI related accidents are socially scorned. Consequently, the laws have become increasingly strident. California’s z ero tolerance policies on blood alcohol content (BAC) and open containers make a DUI accusation extremely serious. If convicted of a drunk drivin g crime you face consequences such as:
- Incarceration
- Heavy fines
- Restitution
- Mandatory drug and alcohol treatment
- Loss of driving privileges
DUI first offenses are subject to the same consequences as repeat offenses , though the penalties are more severe with each
subsequent offense. Your DUI charges can be compounded by charges such as child endangerment, speeding or drug possession. The firm can also defend young people facing charges related to
underage DUI. You are also subjected to
field sobriety tests and
breathalyzer tests if arrested for a DUI. It is a crime to refuse to submit to these the breathalyzer test if a police officer directs you to take them.
Alcohol related accidents carry additional penalties and felony DUI charges if your accident includes extended property damage, serious bodily injury and fatalities. If you are arrested for drunk driving, invoke your constitutional rights to remain silent and have an attorney present. Be cooperative and surrender your license, but do not give up your rights.
