Tampa DUI Manslaughter Attorney

DUI Manslaughter – Understanding the Charges

Under §316.193 of the 2010 Florida Code, should a defendant kill either another human or an unborn child while operating a vehicle under the influence, they will be guilty of having committed DUI manslaughter. This is an extremely serious charge that should not be taken lightly – the penalties are severe and the long-term consequences that will stem from a successful conviction are not something that should be taken lightly. This is a felony charge and could, for example, cause penalties that include a minimum of four years of incarceration and could lead to a complete loss of driving privileges. The state of Florida also considers it to be an even more severe charge should the defendant flee the scene of the accident.
