What happens if you’re involved in an accident while under the influence in Ohio — Do injury or death charges apply automatically?

Answer:

A serious charge following a fatal crash requires more than proof that the driver was under the influence. The video emphasizes that the prosecution must establish the required connection between impairment, the crash, and the death.

A fatal accident involving alleged impaired driving can lead to a very serious criminal case. This video explains that the government must do more than show that the driver was under the influence.

The prosecution must prove the required causation: that the impaired driving caused the accident resulting in death. That issue can be central to evaluating the accusation.

Because a qualifying conviction may carry mandatory prison time, the evidence of impairment and causation both require careful attention in an OVI defense.

Dan Sabol is probably the best attorney I've ever worked with. Very professional and worked hard to get the best results possible. He will be the first person I call if I need a lawyer again. If you find yourself in a sticky situation make sure you give him a ring.
