Drunk driving causing serious injury is a crime under Michigan law, specifically at MCL 257.625. In the state of Michigan, a drunk driving accident that results in serious injury carries a 5 year penalty. These types of cases are the most difficult to respond to as a lawyer and as an accused because the victim is hurt and usually will have outward signs of injury when you go to court. You will need a DUI lawyer who can help neutralize the jury’s emotions as well as those of the other people involved in the case. Drunk driving causing serious injury is a serious charge and it requires serious representation.
