Car accidents can present a serious danger for everyone involved. Ohio state law has attempted to limit the frequency of severe accidents with steep penalties when reckless driving leads to injury, especially when the driver is under the influence.

Aggressive Defense for Serious Charges
An injury-causing OVI will be charged as a felony. Depending on the type of charge, and a person’s criminal record at the time they are charged, an injury offense can result in anything from a third degree felony to a first degree felony, with mandatory punishment of several years in prison and thousands of dollars in fines. Our lawyers can help you avoid these charges by demonstrating that your case is not a valid injury case.
To count as an injury case, the at-fault driver must have done any of the following:
- Reckless driving (including DUI)
- Speeding in a construction zone
- Reckless driving in a construction zone
Admittedly, OVI with injury charges can be some of the toughest cases to handle—but that has never stopped our Cleveland DUI attorneys. Our legal team at HMW Law. can provide tireless criminal defense to help shield you from the most adverse charges.
