DUI Causing Injury in Las Vegas 

When a driver is accused of driving under the influence and causing an auto accident that results in serious injury to another person, this is an extremely serious situation. DUI with injury may be charged as a felony offense under Nevada law, resulting in imprisonment in state prison, fines, driver’s license suspension and a number of other serious penalties if the defendant is convicted.

If you have been accused of causing a DUI accident that resulted in injury to another driver, to a passenger or to a cyclist or pedestrian, you will need immediate legal representation in order to have the opportunity to avoid a conviction and maximum penalties. As an experienced Las Vegas DUI lawyer, I have dealt with many cases of this kind. I understand that although you were involved in an auto accident this does not necessarily mean that you caused the accident or that you were driving under the influence. I will use my legal knowledge and my resources to determine and prove the true cause of the accident in order to help clear your name.

Unfortunately, I have seen far too often that a driver will be charged with this serious criminal offense even when he or she did not cause the accident. Law enforcement may be quick to believe that a driver who had one or two drinks was somehow at fault, but there is just as much of a chance that the other driver or perhaps an external condition caused the accident. You need a legal professional to assert your rights and your side of the story in criminal court, and that is precisely the service that an attorney such as myself can provide.
