In Nevada, being convicted of "DUI causing injury or death" is a class B felony with potential life-changing consequences. If you're involved in a DUI accident that results in substantial bodily harm, you could face severe penalties, including:
— 2 to 20 years in Nevada state prison
— Fines ranging from $2,000 to $5,000
— A 3-year driver’s license suspension

If you're involved in a DUI accident that results in death, you could face even harsher penalties, including:
— 2 to 25 years in Nevada state prison
— Fines ranging from $2,000 to $5,000
— A 3-year driver’s license suspension

And if you're involved in a DUI accident that results in death AND you have one or two prior DUI convictions, you could face penalties of:
— 5 to 25 years in Nevada state prison
— Fines ranging from $2,000 to $5,000
— A 3-year driver’s license suspension

Victims of the crash can include passengers in another vehicle or even passengers in your own car. These charges carry not only legal repercussions but also profound personal and professional impacts.

Two-Pronged Defense Strategy --

Top Nevada DUI defense attorney Michael Becker emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive defense approach:

1. Challenging the DUI Allegation:
Disputing the accuracy of field sobriety tests.
Questioning blood or breath test results, including potential errors in test administration.
Highlighting medical conditions like GERD, which can result in false BAC readings.
Presenting evidence of rising blood alcohol levels, meaning you were under the legal limit while driving.

2. Disputing the Cause of the Injury or Death:
Showing that you were not legally intoxicated at the time of the crash.
Demonstrating that the alcohol consumption occurred after driving.
Contesting claims that your actions caused the injury or death.
