Experienced DuPage County DUI Injury Accident Attorneys
Most DUI charges stem from traffic stops precipitated by bad driving. The resulting charge is usually a Class A misdemeanor for a first or second offense. If, however, the DUI stems from an accident in which someone is injured, it becomes an aggravated DUI, which is a Class 4 felony. The penalties for a DUI with injury are severe. Where serious injuries have occurred, the penalty can include 1-12 years in prison, up to $25,000 in fines as well as a 2-5 year driver’s license suspension. At Ramsell & Kunowski, L.L.C., our attorneys are extensively experienced in defending clients against aggravated DUI charges.
