Roswell Vehicular Homicide

While being arrested for DUI is one of the most terrifying ordeals a Georgia driver can face, it is nothing compared to the penalties you face for vehicular homicide. Unfortunately, if you were arrested for DUI after being involved in a fatal auto accident, you can expect to be charged with this offense. As a result, it is important to obtain legal representation immediately if you were arrested for Roswell vehicular homicide. 

As you can probably guess, any offense that includes the word “homicide” is one of the most serious crimes a person can face. Based on the circumstances of the offense, vehicular homicide can be classified as either a misdemeanor or felony act. However, when it comes to cases that involve driving under the influence, it’s far more likely to be considered a felony since it involves an intentionally reckless act (driving while intoxicated).

The penalties for a felony vehicular homicide conviction can alter a person’s life forever. If you are found guilty of the crime, you may be fined thousands of dollars in fees and penalties, as well as lose your driving privileges for a year or longer. In addition, you could spend up to ten years behind the bars of a state prison.

What’s more, the consequences of your conviction will continue to haunt you long after you’ve served your sentence. Georgia law prevents convicted felons from obtaining a passport, voting, and owning a firearm. In addition, most employers will not even consider hiring someone who has a felony conviction on his or her record, and many landlords and educational institutions also require applicants to have a clean criminal record.
