SPOKANE, WA · DUI WITH INJURY
FELONY CHARGE
If someone suffers substantial bodily harm in a collision involving an impaired driver, Washington prosecutors can charge vehicular assault — a Class B felony — instead of, or in addition to, a DUI.
A felony conviction can mean prison time, a permanent record, license revocation and civil liability for the injuries.
These cases depend on proving both impairment and that the driving caused the injury. Both questions can be contested.
Chris Bugbee has handled nearly 200 jury cases and knows how to examine accident reconstruction, medical evidence and blood testing.
As a former Spokane County prosecutor with 30+ years of criminal law experience and nearly 200 jury cases, he handles your case personally.
WHAT TO KNOW
Causation is often the central issue — the injury must have been caused by the defendant’s driving, not by another driver or circumstance.
The blood draw, the warrant and the lab analysis are all reviewed closely.
Do not discuss the collision with anyone before speaking with a lawyer.
