The Severity of Felony Vehicular Homicide and DUI Charges
When someone dies in a DUI accident, South Carolina law can be unforgiving. Not only will you face reckless homicide charges, but when death or great bodily injury is involved in a drunk driving accident, you are automatically charged with felony DUI.
In addition to the criminal charges you're facing, cases involving vehicular homicide are widely publicized in the media. Often individuals involved in drunk driving accidents that result in serious bodily injury or death are tried and convicted by society long before reaching the courtroom. Despite a public outcry for justice, you are innocent until proven guilty. Our attorneys will ensure that you get a fair trial.
