Factors That Increase DUI Penalties In Florida
Many first-time DUI convictions are misdemeanor offenses, which can impose serious but less severe consequences than can felonies: up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. However, there are a number of factors that raise the level of the offense to a felony and will lead to increased penalties if convicted. Some of these factors include:
- Having a prior DUI conviction — or a number of them — within a certain number of years
- Committing another offense while driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Causing an injury or death of a person or damage to a property while driving drunk
The presence of children in the vehicle and the seriousness of the injuries caused to a person while committing a DUI offense will also increase the consequences of a conviction.
There are many classifications of DUI charges in the state, all carrying different levels of penalties. Call (727) 843-0097 or send me an email right away if you are arrested. I will explain your options and fight hard to reduce or dismiss your charges.
