DUI Accidents and Injuries
While most DUI arrests take place after people are pulled over in traffic by the police, a significant number of people also get arrested for DUI after getting into car accidents. Being in an accident does not increase the penalties for DUI, but injuring someone in an accident does.
If you are convicted of injuring someone else in a DUI accident, you can be sentenced to an extra year of prison for every person you are found guilty of injuring.
In order to have these penalties imposed on you, the prosecutor needs to prove that your drunk driving was the actual cause of the accident. If another driver caused the accident, you can still be found guilty of DUI, but not the enhanced charge of injuring someone.
