Kansas City DUI Involving an Accident

Understanding DUI Involving an Accident: Penalties & Defense Strategies

If you cause an accident while driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the consequences you face can be severe. They can include such penalties as:

  • Jail or prison time
  • Heavy fines
  • Community service
  • License suspension/revocation
  • Compulsory alcohol or drug treatment
  • Mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device

If the accident resulted in an injury or death, this will increase the severity of the DUI sentencing.
