OWI Involving a Death
Dui causing death defense attorney
One decision can change a life — or several lives. If you were involved in a motor vehicle accident in which someone was killed and authorities have charged you with driving while intoxicated, you may face charges of vehicular homicide or vehicular manslaughter. Causing the death of a person while drunk driving could land you up to 25 years in prison — or 40 years if you had a prior drunk driving conviction on your record when the fatal accident occurred. You also risk losing your driver’s license for up to five years after an OWI homicide conviction.
The attorney you hire to defend you in such a serious case will likely have a significant impact on the outcome. At the law office of Christopher T. Van Wagner S.C. in Madison, I have represented hundreds of individuals in a wide range of drunk driving cases, including cases involving serious accidents such as a death resulting from an OWI.
