How serious is DUI DWI?
Being convicted of a DUI DWI has serious consequences and obviously is a serious problem. Everyone is aware that thousands of people are killed each year in DUI DWI accidents. Although many of those accidents result in the death of the intoxicated person, sadly a significant and unfortunate number involve the death of “innocent” parties who were in the wrong place at the wrong time when someone chose to drive a car while impaired. DUI DWI is dangerous for those individuals who choose to operate a car under the influence, and for those individuals who are on the road at the same time. In addition to the severe physical injuries that may result from a DUI DWI accident, there are also serious emotional and mental scars that may never fully heal for both the defendant and his/her victim(s).
