Working To Protect Your Rights In Vehicular Manslaughter And Homicide Cases
Proof of intent is not required to be charged with vehicular homicide. That is why the punishments can be less severe than those meted out for traditional homicide and murder cases. If reckless driving results in the loss of life, however, that is enough to be charged with this crime. Reckless or negligent driving is not even a requirement of the charge, if there was evidence of drug or alcohol use by the driver, such as when Driving under the influence – DUI/OUI charges are involved.

We will examine whether proper procedures were followed at the time of the arrest and during the subsequent investigation. We will also examine whether evidence was properly gathered and accounted for. You can rely on us to help protect your rights while we work to reach the best available resolution in your case.
