When DUI Causes Property Damage

Being charged with a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) is a serious offense on its own. However, when a DUI is associated with property damage, it becomes an even graver issue. In such instances, a DUI charge typically escalates from misdemeanor to felony status, leaving offenders to face severe penalties. Most often, these situations arise from vehicle accidents where an intoxicated driver has damaged another’s property.

Our law firm understands the heavy impact such charges can have on a person’s life. Not only is there potential legal repercussions such as large fines, increased insurance rates, and possible imprisonment, but there are also personal consequences; including damage to your reputation, and even job loss.

How Property Damage Can Affect DUI Penalties

Driving under the influence (DUI) is a serious offense across the United States, attracting substantial penalties that could significantly impact one’s personal and professional life. When a DUI offense results in property damage, these ramifications can escalate rapidly under Illinois state law. Here, they mandate increased penalties for DUI offenses causing property damage, marking such instances as aggravated DUI offenses.

A typical DUI charge could lead to fines and potential jail time without the added complication of property damage. However, if the court establishes that you were at fault for the incident and that it was indeed DUI that caused the property damage, this would significantly elevate the severity of the repercussions. It’s important to understand that Illinois state law enforces stricter fines and longer imprisonment terms for infractions such as these, making it paramount to retain proficient legal counsel to navigate this complex scenario.

Our law firm is well-versed in this niche of criminal defense law. We have substantial experience in representing defendants facing DUI charges, particularly those compounded by property damage. We fully comprehend the intricacies of this subset of Illinois law (625 ILCS 5/11-501), enabling us to work diligently in mitigating the potential impacts on your life. Dealing with a DUI causing property damage is a daunting experience, but with our seasoned attorneys at your side, you’re not alone. We are committed to delivering robust, comprehensive legal representation to ensure your rights are upheld throughout the judicial process.

Civil Liability for DUI Causing Property Damage

If you’ve been charged with causing property damage while driving under the influence, you could be facing severe penalties beyond criminal charges. It’s imperative to understand that one could also be subject to a civil lawsuit by the damaged property’s owner. This lawsuit is independent of the criminal prosecution, meaning it proceeds regardless of the outcome of the DUI charge. In some cases, the driver might still be held financially accountable to the property owner, even if acquitted on their DUI charges.

We aim to clearly communicate the gravity of these circumstances and the potential ramifications. Our law firm is not only experienced in handling these cases, but we also committed to providing legal strategies tailored to your unique situation.
