Phoenix DUI with Injury Defense Lawyers
Premier Arizona Driving Under the Influence Attorneys
If you are found to be driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs at the scene of an accident that involves an injury to another person, you may be charged with a felony DUI with injury offense. This type of DUI charge is also considered aggravated DUI, which is the steepest DUI charge you can face under Arizona Law. You can expect to be asked at the scene of the accident to submit to one or more field sobriety tests, and your BAC (blood alcohol content) will also be tested by a breath or blood test to measure the amount of alcohol in your system. The higher your BAC, the more severe the penalties will be if you are convicted. A BAC of 0.08% to 0.014% is in the normal DUI range, while anything over 0.015% to 0.19% is an extreme DUI and if your BAC is anywhere over 0.20% it is considered a “super extreme” DUI in Arizona.
You must have experienced legal representation in order to receive minimal penalties. At Beauchamp Law Office our DUI defense lawyers understand the severity of a DUI with injury charge.
