DUI Accidents in Brandon

Brandon DUI Attorney

When a driver is accused of causing an auto accident while driving drunk, he or she will face serious consequences. DUI accidents may be referred to as DUI causing property damage or injury and are classified as first degree misdemeanors under Florida law, punishable by up to 12 months in county jail along with other penalties. Immediate, aggressive DUI defense is of the utmost importance in these situations if a driver is to have the best opportunity of avoiding a conviction.

If you've been accused of causing a DUI accident, consulting an attorney is one of the first steps you should take. A Brandon DUI accident lawyer at Thomas & Paulk can meet with you to talk about what occurred and can inform you of your legal rights in order to help you make the right choices about your case.

DUI Causing Property Damage or Personal Injury

There are several key elements involved in a DUI case that involves an auto accident. The prosecuting attorney will need to prove all of these in order to secure a conviction:

  • The defendant was in control of the vehicle.
  • While the defendant was in control of the vehicle, he or she had a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or greater or had abilities that were impaired due to alcohol or a controlled substance.
  • The defendant caused or contributed to causing property damage or injury to another person, as a result of operating the vehicle.

Your Brandon DUI attorney will need to have a firm grasp of all of these in order to effectively defend your rights and interests. Because DUI causing injury or property damage is often a more serious offense than simple DUI, making sure you have the highest quality legal counsel is all the more important.

Contact a lawyer at Thomas & Paulk to discuss your Brandon DUI accident charges.
