Vehicular Assault or Vehicular Homicide Involving Drugs or Alcohol
When an injury occurs because a person was driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the severity of any charge increases considerably and may elevate up to felony charges. If you have caused an accident by driving under the influence, and seriously injured another person as a result, you will likely face charges for vehicular assault.
If the accident was fatal for another driver or passenger, you may be charged with vehicular homicide. This is also a serious felony offense that carries strict penalties, including prison time, upon a conviction.
