Dallas DWI with Injury

In Texas, any driver that is operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol and who causes another person injury can be charged with a felony offense that is legally coined “DWI with injury”.  Texas law strictly prohibits people from driving while influenced by drugs and/or alcohol because so many people are injured and killed by DWI accidents each and every year.  Therefore, any person who injures another person while driving under the influence faces felony charges and some of the harshest legal penalties imaginable.

When a person is convicted of DWI with injury, he/she may have to spend years in jail, pay substantial fines and court fees, do community service, attend DWI School and may also be placed on probation. 

What people must know is that a person does not have to be intoxicated or have an extremely high blood alcohol concentration to be charged with DWI with injury.  People can have a low blood alcohol concentration, drive appropriately and still get in an accident that leads to another person sustaining and injury.  And, because the person will have some trace of alcohol in his/her bloodstream, he/she can be charged with DWI with injury.  It may not seem fair, but it is the law.

For this reason, any time a person has been charged with DWI with injury, it is crucial that he/she obtain the services of a talented Dallas DWI defense attorney who has the knowledge, case experience and dedication it takes to successfully fight this type of felony offense.
