What is Vehicular Manslaughter?

In the state of Florida, vehicular manslaughter is the legal term for the killing of a human in a manner less culpable than murder. Of course, a vehicle must be involved in a charge of vehicular manslaughter. In Florida, if a person was driving a vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol and causes the death of another person, the driver can be guilty of one of the following:

Second degree felony, up to 15 years in prison
First degree felony if the defendant knew or should have known the crash occurred and the defendant failed to give proper information or render aid as required by law.

First degree felonies can carry prison terms of 30 years or even life imprisonment.
If you have been charged with a serious driving offense in Florida, please contact The Umansky Law Firm today to schedule your initial consultation.
