A DUI Accident Can Change Your Life

If you are involved in a DUI Accident and subsequently arrested, charged and convicted, your life will never be the same.  The first important juncture will be whether or not you are charged with a DUI felony or a DUI misdemeanor.  The distinction is crucial to your future.  If the charge is a felony, then you can expect a big fine and a stiff prison sentence.  If on the other hand, you are charged with a misdemeanor, then you will likely only get a fine and perhaps a few classes to attend.  What determines if you get the felony charge or not is whether or not you caused a DUI accident in which someone was hurt or killed.  If so, you will be charged with a felony.
