Alcohol is the leading cause of motor vehicle deaths and injuries in the United States, and the incidence is similarly prevalent in Illinois. Aggressive prosecutors want to put a stop to DUI injuries and accidents on the state's roadways, and they are serious about making offenders pay heavily.

When you are stopped on suspicion of DUI, the first call to make is to an experienced DUI defense attorney. For over 25 years, the skilled attorneys of Kathryn L. Harry & Associates, P.C. have been successfully defending DUI charges and a wide range of traffic violations throughout the Chicago area.

Charges for DUI Resulting in Accident With Injury in Oak Brook, Illinois

If you are charged for a DUI accident resulting in injury, the prosecutor must prove:

• You drove while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, with a BAC of 0.08% or greater, which impaired your ability to drive safely.
• Your DUI caused you to act negligently.
• Your DUI and negligence led to the injury of another person.

Being convicted of drunk driving that causes an accident and personal injury exposes you to many legal provisions that can expand and complicate your criminal penalties and liabilities. Punishment for a DUI injury case includes jail, community service, fines, treatment, and education program participation, and a wide range of driving restrictions.

In addition, you could also face mandatory restitution to victims suffering personal injury, and/or restitution for real or personal property damage. Added to the criminal sanctions for DUI, your combined charges and penalties could seriously impair your employment and social life for years to come; the cost to you and your family could be devastating.
