Denver Vehicular Homicide and Vehicular Assault
The Most Serious of All Driving Under the Influence cases:
If you have been charged with vehicular homicide while driving drunk, you know that you are in serious trouble. You know the consequences you will be faced with if you are convicted. You know that, no matter what, your life is changed forever. Vehicular Homicide is most often charged when a person is killed by a person driving under the influence of alcohol or driving recklessly.
Denver Criminal Defense attorney Richard B. Huttner wants you to understand that you have the right to representation from an experienced drunk driving defense lawyer. You have the right to see that your rights are protected. You have the right to make the prosecution prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. Protecting your rights is what we are here to do.
What is Vehicular Assault?
Vehicular Assault is where somebody is injured as a result of reckless driving or driving under the influence. The injured party suffers serious bodily injury. Often times the person is seated in the same car as the driver. The injury must be proximately caused by the driving.
The dynamics in vehicular assault and vehicular homicide cases are like no other cases. There are victims and victim’s families that create a charged environment that must be navigated with respect and dignity. Even though the evidence may seem insurmountable, it is very important to test the conclusions made by the police, investigators, the crime lab, and the Colorado Department of Health. Mistakes are made and before you proceed to trial or enter a plea, you want to be sure every stone has been turned.
