About Accidents and Serious Injury by Vehicle

When an accident with serious injury occurs, the individuals involved in the accident are usually tested for their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level. If one of the individuals involved in the accident registers at .08% or above, it is often concluded that this is the person responsible for the accident. In fact in some cases, after an independent investigation launched by a Forsyth County DUI lawyer, it can be proven that the client is not the responsible party. The client may have been DUI, but that does not automatically make the client guilty of causing an accident that injured another party.

Each case has its own unique circumstances and must be fully reviewed by a skilled legal team in order to establish how to best move forward with your defense. It is crucial that you act quickly in such a serious case. If you are convicted, the penalties can be severe.

In a serious injury by vehicle case you are at risk for a felony conviction that can send you to prison for a long time. You need a relentless defense from an attorney who is not afraid to challenge the evidence in order to win your case.
