      DUI Causing Injury Attorneys in Maryland & DC

      With Law Offices in Bowie, Waldorf, Frederick, Lexington Park, Rockville, and Annapolis

      Being arrested for a DUI can be frightening and confusing. However an arrest for a DUI accident that has caused injury to another person brings these feelings of intimidation, uncertainty, and fear to a whole different level.

      Will I lose my job? What will my family, friends and co-workers think? Will I go to jail? How will I support my family if I lose my job? How can I prove my innocence?

      These are only a few of many questions you may be asking yourself and the lawyers at Alpert Schreyer, LLC are here to help you answer them.

      Driving under the influence of or while impaired by alcohol and/or drugs is not only illegal, it is also very dangerous and is responsible for tens of thousands of road injuries and fatalities each year. This is why all states have strict laws and penalties for DUI offenders. A drunk driving conviction in Maryland alone can carry significant penalties; however, if you are convicted of causing injury to another individual as a result of a DUI accident, then you face even harsher punishment.

      Maryland Law – Crimes Against the Person

      In Maryland, causing injury to another while driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs is considered a crime against the person, under § 3-211 of the state’s Criminal Law Code and carries harsh penalties. The law states that “a person may not cause a life-threatening injury to another as a result of the person’s negligently driving, operating, or controlling a motor vehicle or vessel while the person is under the influence of alcohol or under the influence of alcohol per se.

      Additionally, it is illegal for any person to cause a life-threatening injury as the result of their driving under the influence of a drug, or any combination of drugs.

      Penalties for DUI Causing Injury in Maryland

      If you are convicted of DUI causing injury, you will be subject to a number of penalties, in addition to the suspension of your driver’s license by the Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA). These penalties include:

      • A misdemeanor charge;
      • A maximum 2 year sentence of imprisonment; and/or
      • A maximum $3,000 fine.

      These penalties also apply to a DUI of a controlled substance causing injury. Depending on the circumstances of the crime, aggravating factors, such as prior convictions would likely result in additional or harsher, punishments, including installation of an ignition interlock device.

      The attorney’s and paralegals are incredible. They are truly committed to understanding your case and serving you. However, I’ve personally worked with Mr. Berman and Mrs. Bowman through my entire process! I am so grateful for their passion, dedication, and professionalism. I haven’t worked with many attorney’s in the past, but I’m glad you all were recommended to me. You all are truly the best. Thank you so much!
