Phoenix, Arizona Vehicular Crime Defense
Phoenix, Vehicular Crime Defense
In Arizona, a car accident can result in serious criminal charges if alcohol or drugs are involved and if someone was injured or killed. In some cases, speed alone can bring manslaughter or negligent homicide charges. Additionally, if a driver leaves the scene of a serious injury accident, additional felony charges can be brought as well. In Arizona, vehicular assaults and manslaughter are viewed as seriously as shooting or killing someone with a handgun. In these cases, prosecutors treat vehicles as deadly weapons and use them to punish people with harsh sentences.
Although an incident of this sort can be viewed as an ‘accident,’ Arizona law allows for the prosecution of an individual based on recklessness or carelessness. What this means is that even though there is nothing intentional about an accident, a negligent driver can still be convicted and sent to prison.
