DUI Laws & Penalties: Misdemeanor DUI Accident
Tampa DUI Lawyer
DUI Misdemeanor Conviction: (Accident Involving Property Damage or Personal Injury)-s. 316.193 (3), F.S.
According to the Florida Statutes, a person who causes property damage or injury to another person while driving under the influence (DUI) may face criminal charges. This is a First Degree Misdemeanor and may be punishable by up to 1 year in jail or a fine of up to $1,000.
In DUI accident cases, it is important for a lawyer to have the skill, experience and resources needed to investigate the accident and determine the true cause of the accident. It may be that the driver accused of being at fault actually did not cause the accident or was actually not driving under the influence, and a lawyer will need to prove this in court and at his or her
DMV hearing.
