Phoenix, Arizona 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. If a driver leaves the scene of the accident, additional charges can be brought as well.
We have experience in the classroom and in the courtroom in dealing with accident reconstruction and other issues related to defending these types of cases. In Arizona, vehicular assaults and manslaughter are viewed as seriously as shooting or killing someone with a handgun.
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.
