DUI With Injury in San Diego
A DUI that causes injury to another person is charged under California Vehicle Code 23153 and can be filed as either a misdemeanor or a felony (a wobbler), depending on the injuries and your record. Convictions can include jail or prison, restitution to victims, and a long license suspension.
These cases turn on causation and the extent of injury, both of which can be challenged. Crudo Law investigates the accident, the testing, and the evidence to build the strongest possible defense.
