WHAT ARE THE PENALTIES FROM A DUI/OWI?
Under Michigan law, the penalties for your first DUI offense can include:
- A jail sentence of up to 93 days
- A fine ranging from $100 – $500
- A fine of $1,000 paid annually for up to 2 years
- Up to 360 days of community service
- 30-day license suspension with some restrictions for 150 more days
- Six points on your driving record
The more DUI’s you have, the more your potential penalties will increase. If you have more than one DUI, you could be facing up to a year in jail, a $1000 fine, forfeiture of your vehicle, and a five-year driver’s license revocation.
If you are convicted of a third DUI, then you are likely to face a felony charge. If you are charged with a felony, you will lose your right to vote and the ability to own firearms for 3-5 years after your release from prison.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A DEATH OR INJURY OCCURS?
If your DUI/OWI resulted in a Southfield car accident that resulted in the personal injury of another driver, then the prosecutor may attempt to charge you with a felony regardless of if this is your first DUI or not. The penalties you are facing are quite severe:
- Max of 15 years in prison
- A fine of up to $10,000
- Revoked driver’s license
- Forfeiture of your vehicle
- Six points added to your license
These penalties are much more severe and require the help of a licensed Southfield DUI/OWI attorney to ensure you receive a fair sentence. Furthermore, if your accident resulted in the death of an individual, please contact our wrongful death lawyers in Southfield.
