DWI Involving Accidents

The Cochran Firm

Driving while intoxicated (DWI) is a serious crime that can have lasting adverse impacts for the people committing the offense and also for the people they share the roads with while driving.  All too often, people that drive while intoxicated cause catastrophic accidents that injure and kill innocent people in Texas.  In cases where there aren’t any other drivers or passengers involved, DWI accidents can lead to substantial property damage and destruction.  For this reason, people who are arrested for DWI and that have been involved in accidents while intoxicated face enhanced criminal charges and sentencing if they are convicted.

DWI Involving Accidents & Convictions

If a person is convicted of DWI involving an accident, his/her sentence will depend upon the severity of his/her criminal charges.  In cases where the person caused another driver or a passenger substantial injury or death, the person will receive more severe charges.   This also holds true in cases where people cause significant damage to property, have prior DWI arrests or have a history of criminal behavior.  Once convicted of DWI involving accidents, people may be sentenced with years of jail time, huge fines, community service, probation, restitution and/or mandatory drug and alcohol treatment programs.
