Just Got In An Accident and Arrested for Drunk Driving?

July 3, 2009

Often time's people who get arrested for causing an accident while allegedly drunk will call and ask me what will happen to them based on the fact that there was an accident with people that may have been injured.

July 03, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- I've been arrested for a DUI causing an accident. Where do I go from here? Roads in Orlando and Central Florida are seriously congested and in many cases poorly designed. There is rapid development and increasing numbers of people moving to our state everyday. These factors along with consumption of alcohol can sometimes lead to some serious accidents.

Often time's people who get arrested for causing an accident while allegedly drunk will call and ask me what will happen to them based on the fact that there was an accident with people that may have been injured.

The most important thing that you can do is to contact a lawyer immediately to go over your legal rights. If an accident was involved and some one was injured you could possibly face more strict mandatory penalties then if you've just been arrested for a simple DUI without property damage or injury. In some cases there's a potential for increased probation, fines, costs, jail and prison. Depending upon the severity of the injury or the number of DUI's you've had in the past, you could be facing felony charges which could increase the likelihood of the government seeking a prison sentence depending upon your criminal history and the alleged victims injury.

Groups like Mothers against Drunk Driving (MADD) and Students against Drunk Driving (SADD) may send out a victim counselor to advocate on behalf of the victim. In certain cases the prosecutor may feel as if his or her hands are tied because of the public media scrutiny giving to drunk driving cases where an accident or injury has occurred.

It is extremely important for you to contact an attorney to protect your rights under the state and federal constitution. You may have a legal defense concerning any statements you made to the police, requests to have you take a field sobriety test, improper law enforcement techniques during the accident investigation process, and forced withdrawal of your blood sample for testing of intoxication. Furthermore when you've been in a DUI or drunk driving accident here in Orlando or Central Florida, the insurance company for the alleged victim may call to ask you specific questions about the accident and how much drugs or alcohol you were consuming. Additionally insurance companies are going to request that you give a recorded statement concerning the details of the accident and that could potentially be used against you. Before choosing to talk to any of these insurance companies it is extremely imperative that you seek advice of a qualified attorney who's experienced with DUI or drunk driving matters.
