Understanding DUI Involving an Accident: Penalties & Defense Strategies

- 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.
