Types Of
Though different in every state, there
are two main kinds of DUI
manslaughter:
• Vehicular manslaughter with
gross negligence – happens
when a driver is proven to have
shown extreme recklessness
while under the influence.
It's possible to be charged with DUI
manslaughter even if you were NOT
driving. Simply being involved in a road
accident wherein someone (either the
person on the other vehicle or your
passenger) dies puts you at risk of a
vehicular homicidal charge. For example:
the road accident doesn't lead to any
fatalities BUT during hospitalization, a
victim eventually passes away. This could
still be grounds for DUI homicide.
