    Vehicular Manslaughter: Alcohol, Drugs or Reckless Behavior

    When a motor vehicle accident results in the death of one or more people, the police will attempt to determine if alcohol, drugs or reckless behavior played a role in the accident. If any of these becomes a factor, blame for the accident will automatically shift to that driver, even if other factors contributed to or caused the accident. Greenberg & Greenberg defends clients facing all types of vehicular manslaughter or vehicular homicide charges in San Bernardino or Riverside, including:

    DUI or Intoxication Vehicular Manslaughter

    If you are found to have alcohol or illegal drugs in your system following the accident, you could be charged with DUI manslaughter (also known as vehicular manslaughter with intoxication) and face up to 10 years or more in prison, if convicted. Additionally, and in some circumstances the district attorney could seek a conviction for second degree murder, you could face a potential sentence of 15 years to life in prison if you are convicted for vehicular manslaughter/murder.

    Reckless Vehicular Manslaughter

    If you were speeding, driving recklessly or operating your vehicle in a manner considered grossly negligent, and a fatal accident results, you may be charged with vehicular manslaughter and could face up to several years in prison, if convicted.
