Reckless Homicide Attorney in Chicago
When Can You Be Charged with Reckless Homicide?
When the death of a person is caused by the operation of a motor vehicle by another, reckless homicide has been committed. It is an unintentional act. If the driver of the vehicle that killed another is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, it is presumed to be evidence of a reckless act unless it can be proven otherwise. Driving under the influence does not just mean that a person's BAC is 0.08% or higher. You could be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or a combination of both, which would render you incapable of safely driving a vehicle.
The laws concerning reckless homicide are lengthy and very detailed. A Chicago DUI lawyer will be able to review the exact circumstances in your case and answer any questions concerning the matter. It is important to retain an attorney with experience dealing with DUIs and reckless homicide charges. A defense strategy will have to be outlined in order to secure a favorable result.
