Vehicular homicide is the willful killing of another person by using a motor vehicle as a weapon, instead of a knife or gun.
To prove vehicular homicide, the prosecution must present clear evidence to show the accused was either:
- Acting negligently or in a way that could be expected to cause serious injury or death
- Intoxicated or under the influence of drugs at the time of the accident
- Drag racing, using excessive speed or driving recklessly
As there are various levels of charges and penalties an individual could face for vehicular homicide, it is important you waste no time in retaining counsel. Having an unrelenting legal advocate on your side could mean the difference between the dismissal of all charges and a permanent criminal record.
