Michigan Negligent Homicide Defense Attorney
A motor vehicle accident can be life-changing for all involved parties, and the death of a person in the vehicle makes an accident even more distressing. In Michigan, the driver of a vehicle can be charged with homicide if another person is killed as a result of reckless driving. According to the Michigan Penal Code (750.324), any person whose operation of a motor vehicle at an immoderate speed or in a reckless manner that unwantedly causes the death of another person is guilty of a misdemeanor.
Charges of negligent homicide do not have to involve alcohol or drug intoxication, or any other contributing factors in order to bring about a misdemeanor conviction. Contact Grabel & Associates to access exceptional criminal defense for your homicide case. Don’t risk jail time or fines by settling for less than the best lawyer after a Michigan car accident.
