with Offices in Houston and The Woodlands, TX

Being involved in a motor vehicle accident is a traumatic occurrence.  Being involved in a motor vehicle accident where you are believed to be at fault is even worse.  But nothing can prepare a person for the life-changing experience one will go through when another person is killed or seriously injured in an accident and you are suspected of being at fault.

 What Happens if I am Involved in an Accident Resulting in a Fatality?

From the outset, law enforcement is going to handle the accident much differently.  Instead of pulling over to the side of the road and exchanging information, police officers are going to shut the road down for several hours and try to gather as much evidence from the roadway, witnesses, and most importantly, you.  They are going to ask where you were coming from, what you were doing at the time of the accident, and whether you had been drinking.  They are going to ask to look at your cell phone.  And, even though you may not be going off in handcuffs that day or night, you can expect that they are planning on filing charges and getting a warrant for your arrest in the future.

DWI and Vehicular Homicide

It is worse is if you are suspected of drinking, being intoxicated, or under the influence of drugs.  In addition to trying to find out where you were coming from (so they can go to the bar or location to talk to witnesses), how much you had to drink, and how you feel, police officers are going to try and get your to perform field sobriety testing.  And you can forget about “Do not blow.”  Refuse a breath test or blood test and law enforcement is going to take your blood any way, even over your objection, even by using force if necessary.
