Frequently Asked Questions About Vehicular Homicide
What exactly constitutes criminal vehicular homicide?
Criminal vehicular homicide involves a fatality that arises from the negligent operation of a vehicle, including, but not limited to, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or leaving the scene of an accident.
How does the prosecution determine to charge someone with vehicular homicide?
Prosecutors look into various factors, such as whether the driver was impaired by alcohol or drugs, engaged in negligent driving practices, or fled the accident scene. Even if your blood-alcohol level was below .08%, impairment might still be argued by the state.
What are the potential consequences if convicted?
Consequences can range from lengthy imprisonment to significant fines, not to mention the lasting impact on your personal and professional life. A conviction can severely restrict your freedoms and future opportunities.
What if the death was not directly caused by my actions?
If charged, it indicates that prosecutors believe there is evidence against you, though it could be flawed. My role is to dissect these accusations, bringing to light the facts and striving for a dismissal based on the lack of direct causation.
What defenses are available for a vehicular homicide charge?
Defenses may include proving non-negligent behavior, showing no causation link between the driving and the fatality, or challenging the accuracy of evidence like BAC levels. Each case requires a strategy based on the incident’s specifics.
