DUI With Homicide

If you have had an accident that caused the death of someone else, and you were charged with driving under the influence, you’re probably stressed and afraid. You have gone through a terrible ordeal, and have no idea what is going to happen next. The good news is, Logue Law Group is here to help you.

DUI Homicide Penalties in Pennsylvania

When you are charged with DUI and causing an accident that resulted in the death of another person, it’s possible that you will be charged with a sentence enhancement of Homicide. This means you are facing extra penalties on top of the standard ones for driving under the influence. These penalties are severe, because homicide is a second-degree felony. You can be charged with one count of Homicide for every person who died in the accident, if the district attorney can prove that you drove under the influence and caused the accident. A conviction for this charge includes fines of up to $25,000 for each person who died and three to ten years in prison for each person who died.
