Fighting Vehicular Homicide Charges in Georgia
In most scenarios, DUI charges occur before any accident occurs and no one is harmed. Unfortunately, however, this is not always the case and dangerous, even life-threatening accidents can happen. When a person is killed by an intoxicated driver, it is known as vehicular homicide or “homicide by vehicle.” It is a very serious allegation that comes with very serious penalties if a conviction is reached.
If you have been charged with homicide by vehicle, then swift and decisive action is needed to mount an effective defense. At Willis Law Firm, our Atlanta vehicular homicide attorney has 20 years of legal experience to our clients’ needs. Because our firm is completely dedicated to DUI and DUI-related cases, you can rest assured that we bring unmatched insight and strategies to your defense efforts.
You do not have to face this difficult time alone. Contact our firm today to speak to an experienced Atlanta vehicular homicide lawyer.
Penalties & Definitions in Georgia
Homicide by vehicle is described in O.C.G.A. § 40-6-393. This crime can be charged as a misdemeanor, but, when alcohol are involved, it is always considered a felony offense.
A felony homicide by vehicle conviction will result in:
- A minimum of three years in prison
- A maximum of 15 years in prison
- Driver’s license suspension for three years
If the accused is found to be a habitual offender—and was driving at the time of the incident without a license—these penalties can increase. For more specific information on what penalties you might be facing, call our team today.
