Fatality and False Positives What You Need to Know
Fatal accidents happen every day in Tennessee, but what are the real causes of these crashes? There may be many factors: both drivers making mistakes, poor weather conditions, or even medical problems. In any case, fatal crashes are a tragedy, and the effect on people’s lives is profound. Drivers facing DUI charges are usually in hot water. They can face up to a year in prison and around $4,900 in fees, fines, and penalties — not to mention they could lose their license for a year. That’s enough to wreak havoc on your life, but it’s even worse if the accident resulted in a fatality. Depending on your blood alcohol content (BAC) when the fatality occurred, the charge can be upgraded or reduced. If your BAC is between 0.08 and 0.20 percent, you will face vehicular homicide charges, which could result in a prison sentence of between eight and 30 years. You will likely lose your license for at least three years.
If the BAC is greater than 0.20, you’re looking at an aggravated vehicular assault while driving intoxicated charge, which is a class A felony. The jail time becomes 15–60 years with fines as much as $50,000! Investigators are usually thorough, but there are a number of factors that could contribute to a false DUI after a crash. Perhaps you sustained a head injury that caused symptoms similar to being drunk, like slurred speech and disorientation. Similarly, medical conditions like diagnosed diabetes could result in the same misinterpretation. If you or someone you love is involved in a fatal car crash that allegedly involved alcohol, you need to speak with an experienced Tennessee criminal defense attorney right away. Speaking to law enforcement or taking a plea deal without an attorney after a major crash is a mistake. An experienced attorney will examine the evidence and provide you with options for defense.
