East Brunswick & Freehold Vehicular Manslaughter Lawyer

An Overview of Vehicular Homicide

Even though a driver may have never intended to harm another person, they can still face harsh consequences if the courts find their actions to be considered reckless. Reckless driving is defined as any conscious disregard of substantial risk. This can include driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI/DWI) or falling asleep at the wheel.

A conviction can bring the following penalties:

• A second degree felony on a person’s record
• Up to 10 years in state prison
• Fines up to $150,000
• Driver’s license suspension from 5 years to life

If the fatal collision occurred within a school zone, the penalties can worsen by up to an additional 10 years in prison, along with a first degree felony charge. Since death by auto charges carry such extreme consequences, retaining a hard-hitting defense is crucial. By consulting with my firm, I can review the specifics of your case and craft a custom strategy to give you the best chances of securing a desirable verdict.
