Aggressively Defending Our Clients From Serious Charges

In the state of Florida, anyone who drives under the influence of alcohol and causes an accident that results in someone’s death can be charged with DUI manslaughter. Even though the fatality was not intentional, the death of the innocent victim was the direct result of the intoxicated driver’s negligence; therefore, the drunk driver is guilty of manslaughter.

DUI manslaughter is a second-degree felony. As such, the penalties include a fine of up to $10,000 and/or 15 years in prison. If the intoxicated driver knew or should have known that the accident occurred and yet they failed to give information and render aid, it is a first-degree felony. The penalties for a first-degree felony include a fine of up to $10,000 and/or 30 years in prison.
