Operating Under the Influence of Liquor Causing Death and Manslaughter

It is extremely dangerous to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, and alcohol can unfortunately be a key factor in vehicle accidents. If you have been charged with drunk driving after an accident that caused the death or injury of another person, police and prosecutors will assume your blood alcohol content was the direct cause of the accident. This assumption can result in felony assault charges and severe punishment for manslaughter. Our attorneys will investigate the details of your case to ensure you are not wrongfully held responsible for the death of another person. We understand the stress that an OUIL charge can put on you, especially if you are facing the death of a passenger. Work with an experienced attorney to avoid unnecessary criminal penalties.

Cases of DUI and OUIL Causing Death in MI

Drunk driving cases resulting in death are driven by emotion and you will require the counsel of an experienced attorney throughout your case if accused. In order to be convicted of drunk driving or any DUI related charge, police must first have probable cause to believe you are driving under the influence. In the case of a vehicle accident, police will already have a reason to speak to you, and may ask you to submit to a blood or breath test. Don’t forfeit your rights the minute you are questioned about a vehicle accident. Contact Grabel & Associates and find out how to best protect yourself from DUI conviction.
