Are You Facing Charges for Vehicular Homicide?

Fayetteville DWI Attorney

Vehicular homicide is not typically an intentional act of violence but refers to a fatal accident caused by a drunk driver. Driving while intoxicated (DWI) is an act of negligence that exemplifies a lack of regard for the safety of other drivers. If an accident caused by a drunk driver results in a fatality, the crime will be classified as vehicular homicide.

A driver who has killed another individual as a result of drunk driving can expect to be charged with DWI vehicular manslaughter. If you are facing charges for this offense, it is important to ensure that you have the best defense on your side. At the Plyler Law Firm, P.A., we offer high-quality representation to our clients.
