Los Angeles Vehicular Manslaughter DUI Defense
In Southern California, there is almost a new story every day about how an alleged drunk driver caused a fatal or near fatal accident. These types of stories make Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorneys cringe, because so many of these people who have been charged will either run from the law or react out of fear instead of hiring a skilled lawyer to protect their rights.
A recent case of an alleged Vehicular Manslaughter DUI took place in Reseda. A woman in her early 50's was killed, and her 5 year old grandson was in serious condition, after a 23 year old Marine allegedly crashed his SUV into their car while drunk. The woman, her husband and their grandchild were working on getting their Toyota Prius into a gated residence when the Marine crashed into the back of the Prius while the woman was outside the car. The grandson was ejected from the car during the accident, causing his injuries. The boy suffered trauma to the body and lacerations; the marine suffered minor abrasions.
If convicted, the Marine could face severe consequences. To give himself the best chance of avoiding years in prison, he needs a Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney who can provide top notch legal representation and use the best team of experts to build a the best defense possible. Vehicular Manslaughter is a type of violent crime which holds a person liable for any death which occurs because of criminal negligence or a violation to traffic safety laws. The penalties could lead to jail time, heavy fines, loss of a driver's license for years, mandatory drug/alcohol counseling, and more. You could even have an interlocking device attached to your car for years, which is a new program California is utilizing.
