If you are involved in a vehicle accident while under the influence of alcohol, you could be subject to criminal penalties and restrictions on your freedom.

If you operate a vehicle after drinking and your blood alcohol content, as determined by a chemical test or blood test, is .08 or more, you are assumed to be too drunk to drive and are subject to criminal penalties for OWI. If you operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content of .17 or more, twice the legal limit, you will be charged under the Michigan Super Drunk law, and subject to enhanced criminal penalties. If your blood alcohol content is under the legal limit, you can still be charged with operating a vehicle under the influence of alcoholic liquor, if the prosecutor can prove that your drinking impaired your ability to drive. An OUIL charge can be caused by failed sobriety tests or other evidence gathered by police.
If you cause damage to the property of another person while under the influence of alcoholic liquor, you will face possible restitution, fines, and even potential jail time.

In the state of Michigan, the penalties for drunk driving can include jail time, fines, vehicle loss, loss of driving privileges, restrictions on aspects of freedom such as travel, higher insurance costs, and more. If it is your first OUIL offense, you could face 93 days in jail, a $500 fine, up to 360 hours in community service, driver’s license points, and a suspended driver’s license.
