We Fight Intoxication Assault Charges
A car accident related to drunk driving is almost always a serious felony offense. First and foremost, people tend to always claim injuries when they’re involved in an auto accident so they can financially benefit from involved insurers, whether they were injured or not.
Secondly, the criminal offense of DWI being the “alleged” progenitor of the wreck, leading to an enhanced felony DWI charge.
The Initial Auto Accident Investigation
During the initial investigations of auto accidents like these, and we’ve all passed by them on Houston’s freeways, police officers blame the “at-fault” party for the accident, unless they smell alcohol on one of the breath of one of the drivers.
When this happens, whoever police officers claim to “smell alcohol” on can be charged with DWI/Intoxication-Assault, solely at the discretion of the officers.
Mistakes are made often.
