DUI with Injuries
DUI Lawyer in Colorado Springs
The state of Colorado takes driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
very seriously. If the blood-alcohol content (BAC) in your system proves
to be between 0.5% and 0.8%, you will be charged with a DWAI, driving
while ability impaired. If the BAC is 0.8% or greater, you will be charged with a
DUI, which means driving under the influence, a considerably more severe offense.
Regardless of how high the percentage of alcohol is in a person's
body while driving , if the offender injures an individual in the process,
it is considered a DUI with injury, also known as vehicular assault. The
consequences can be extreme. That is why if you were charged with such
an offense, you must contact my office, The Samuelson Law Firm, to get

DUI with Injury Penalties
The punishment one can face when convicted of a DUI with injury can vary
greatly depending on how thorough the investigation of the accident. The
faster my team of legal experts takes over your case, the better are your
chances of building a solid case. We investigate everything from the alcohol-test
device used at the time of the incident, to the scene of the accident,
and all other elements that could have directly influenced the resulting
injuries. If convicted of a DUI with injury, you can face the following charges:
- Prison
- Driver's license revocation
- Restitution
- Exorbitant fines
The state of Colorado also enforces punitive damages to discourage reckless
driving under the influence. Punitive damages can include the victim's
medical bills, loss of income due to the injuries, and compensation for
psychological damages and emotional distress depending on the level of
neglect and severity of the accident.
