Fighting the Penalties of a Conviction

Charges for vehicular manslaughter can result from a variety of driving incidents. If an individual is alleged to have been killed as a result of drunk driving, or failure to drive with reasonable care for the safety of others, the defendant could be charged with vehicular manslaughter. This would also be true if the defendant is believed to have exhibited reckless behavior while driving that resulted in another person's death.

When determining the appropriate penalties for this offense, courts take into account the defendant's criminal record and other factors, including the degree of intoxication measured by blood or breath tests. Sentences range from a Class A misdemeanor with one year of jail time and a $4,000 fine all the way up to a first degree felony with a prison term of 5 to 99 years and fines of up to $10,000.
