Naples DUI Attorneys

DUI with Injury

Have you been accused of DUI with injury? This may be a serious felony DUI offense, and you need a skilled attorney on your side in order to fight these allegations and have your rights protected. In order to be convicted under Florida law, you must have been operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs and must have caused the accident – which then resulted in injury to another person. The injured party may be another driver, a passenger or a non-occupant, meaning a pedestrian, cyclist or some other person that was not in a vehicle at the time of the collision.

In addition to facing criminal penalties for DUI with injury, a driver may also face a civil lawsuit and may be held liable to pay for injuries that the other party or parties sustained. A Naples DUI attorney at Musca Law can help. We have over 100 years of combined legal experience and can look over the particulars of your DUI with injury case and auto accident in order to determine how to prove that you were A) not at fault in the accident, or B) that you were not intoxicated.

Penalties for DUI with injury are serious. For causing property damage of up to $1,000 or personal injury to another, a driver may face misdemeanor charges. A conviction may result in up to 12 months in jail and/or a fine of up to $1,000. For causing serious bodily injury to another, a defendant may face up to 5 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $5,000.
