How Injuries Can Affect DUI Penalties

Being charged with a DUI causing injuries in Illinois constitutes a serious offense that can carry grim consequences. When a DUI incident escalates to one where injuries are sustained, legal repercussions increase significantly, potentially impacting your life for years to come. Illinois law, namely sections 625 ILCS 5/11-501 of the Illinois Compiled Statutes, details the escalated penalties you could be facing.

If found guilty of a DUI causing injury, penalties can include causing great bodily harm, permanent disability, or disfigurement where imprisonment for up to 1-12 years could be ordered. Financial penalties can also increase to $25,000, not inclusive of potential restitution to the injured party. The penalties can be further escalated if the defendant has previous DUI convictions or if the injured party is a minor.

Please remember that James Dimeas intends to offer guidance for those charged with a DUI and not the victims of DUI accidents.

Civil Liability for DUI Causing Injuries

James Dimeas’s law firm is geared to help individuals who find themselves facing a serious matter involving DUI charges that have resulted in injuries. Unfortunately, accidents happen, and when impaired driving is suspected as a factor, those accidents can lead to devastating consequences. Not only could a driver be looking at severe criminal repercussions, but there is also the potential for a personal injury lawsuit initiated by those hurt in the incident. It’s crucial to understand that these civil proceedings are entirely separate from the criminal charges, and a defendant can be held liable for damages even in the absence of a criminal conviction. Additionally, the burden of proof is different in a civil court; it can be easier for a plaintiff to establish liability than it is for the prosecution to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in the criminal case. This complexity underscores the need for solid legal representation. Mr. Dimeas’s law firm stands ready to advocate for those facing such challenging circumstances. He will guide DUI defendants through both the criminal and civil proceedings, offering comprehensive legal support. Please note that Mr. Dimeas’s firm is here to represent the defendants in DUI cases, asserting their rights, and protecting their interests – not the victims. We underline the importance of competent legal counseling in these situations, as it directly impacts the potential outcomes of both criminal and civil proceedings.
