Collin County Vehicular Manslaughter Attorney

Laws Regarding Vehicular & Intoxicated Manslaughter

Being accused of causing of causing a car accident causes enough problems in and of itself. However, it can become worse if you were also accused of driving while intoxicated (DWI). But the absolute worst situation is when the accident you have been accused of causing also involves a person's death. Vehicular manslaughter and intoxication manslaughter are considered second degree felonies under the Texas Penal Code. As a result, penalties may include a fine of up to $10,000 and imprisonment between 2 and 20 years. Such harsh penalties can have a permanent damaging effect on the accused person and their family should they be wrongfully convicted. For this reason, it is vitally important to acquire a lawyer at your earliest convenience.
