DUI with Injury Charges in Atlanta

DUI Lawyer for Fulton County

When a car accident causes a serious injury, and one of the drivers involved is charged with DUI, the situation becomes very serious for the person charged. Law enforcement, when determining the cause of an accident, often come to the conclusion that the person who had alcohol in their system is to blame for the incident. The investigation often stops at that point, and the individual is charged with a DUI with injury or DUI causing injury. Depending upon the severity of the incident and the prior criminal record of the individual, the charge could be a felony. If convicted, you could be facing time in state prison, fines, restitution, lawsuits from the injured or their families, and other severe repercussions. If you or a family member is facing this legal problem, contact an Atlanta DUI attorney without delay.
