Facing charges for intoxication assault can be one of the most serious positions that a person can face for a crime involving driving while intoxicated (DWI). An intoxication assault charges involves a driver who has caused an accident that results in the serious injury or permanent disfigurement of another person. These charges are extremely serious, and can result in extremely costly fines as well as a potential for many years of prison sentencing, depending upon the severity of the victim's injuries. If you or a loved one has been charged or arrested for intoxication assault, you will need immediate legal advice from an experienced and aggressive Plano DWI attorney.
The penalties for an intoxication assault charge that results in a criminal conviction can be severely harmful to a person's lifestyle, their freedom and even to their family if they are the source for the family's primary income. If a person suffers extremely debilitating injuries or is permanently crippled in an accident caused by an intoxicated driver, it's possible for the driver to face 20 years or more in prison. The severity of the injuries will usually determine the severity of the punishment. If the victim dies, the charge can become an intoxication manslaughter charge, which means much more serious criminal penalties can be faced including life in prison.
