DUI Accident Charge – Don’t Expect Any Leniency

If you cause a DUI accident and are subsequently arrested and charged, don’t be surprised if you end up in prison.  At long last society if beginning to deal with drunk drivers in a way that may, over the long run, save some lives.  Here are some of the factors that are contributing to this newish state of affairs.  DUI is big money all the way around.  The liquor companies make out, the lawyers, the police officers, the ambulance drivers, doctors, nurses, autobody repair, you name it.  Finally, society is saying, “hey, we are not going to pay for all this damage that you and the alcohol company caused.”  The jury will be ready, willing and able to make sure you “pay” a stiff price in the form of a long prison sentence.  If you are in prison, you can’t be on the road killing people and racking up costs for others to pay.
