Maryland Law Classifies DUI Injuries Into Two Parts

Maryland divides alcohol-related crashes that cause harm to others into two parts:

1. Life-threatening injuries: Life-threatening injuries include traumatic brain injuries, severe internal bleeding, and other injuries that pose a significant risk of death.
2. Fatal injuries: Fatal injuries result in the death of another person.

The severity of criminal charges depends on two factors:

1. Level of impairment, whether you were driving under the influence or driving while impaired
2. Type of harm caused, such as whether the accident results in life-threatening injury or fatality

If your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was 0.08 or higher, the law considers you driving under the influence. But If your blood alcohol concentration was 0.07 or higher but less than 0.08, the law considers you driving while impaired.

Causing injuries or fatalities while driving under the influence (DUI) results in higher penalties compared to driving while impaired (DWI).

Penalties for Causing Injury or Death While Driving Under the Influence in Maryland

When a DUI crash results in serious harm, Maryland courts impose severe penalties:

• If you caused life-threatening injuries while driving under the influence, you could face up to three years in prison and $3,000 in fines.
• The penalties become even more severe in cases involving fatalities, with prison sentences extending to five years and fines reaching $5,000.

However, these penalties are just the beginning. The effects of a DUI conviction extend far beyond. Your license would likely be suspended. Insurance companies typically respond to DUI convictions with dramatically increased rates. Perhaps most significantly, you'll carry a criminal record that can impact your career opportunities and personal life for years to come.

Penalties for Causing Injury or Death While Driving Impaired in Maryland

Even at lower blood alcohol levels, causing injuries carries serious consequences.

• In cases involving life-threatening injuries, you could face up to two years in prison and $3,000 in fines.
• If a DWI crash resulted in death, the potential prison time increases to three years, along with $3,000 in fines.

You don't have to navigate this challenging situation alone. With the right legal team, there's hope for getting charges reduced or even dismissed. Contact us to discuss your case with our DUI-causing injury attorneys in MD and understand your options.

How Our Maryland DUI-Causing Injury Lawyers Can Defend You Against Serious DUI Injury Charges

DUI cases involving injuries are highly complex and demand a strong defense strategy. We thoroughly investigate every aspect of your case to pursue the best possible outcome—whether that's reduced charges, case dismissal, or a not-guilty verdict.

Here's how we build your defense:

• We can challenge breathalyzer accuracy through rigorous investigation. Breathalyzer devices require regular calibration and proper maintenance. When we discover a testing unit hasn't been calibrated for months, we often get the results thrown out as unreliable evidence.
• Blood test results aren't immune to challenge. We can trace the entire chain of custody, from the initial draw to final analysis. Was proper protocol followed during collection? Any procedural breach can invalidate the entire test.
• The prosecution must prove your direct role in causing injuries. Our DWI-causing injury attorneys in Glen Burnie, MD, examine all contributing factors—road conditions, weather, mechanical issues, and other drivers' actions. Maybe a victim's injuries could have occurred due to not wearing a seatbelt rather than your driving.
• When evidence is substantial, we leverage our negotiation expertise. We explore every avenue to protect your future—from reduced charges to alternative sentencing options.

Your future deserves a strong defense. Contact our Maryland DUI-causing injury lawyers for a free consultation and learn how our experience can work for you.

What our clients say about their experience:

• ★★★★★

  I recently had Mr. Maronick represent me for my first DUI case. I was very nervous about it because of the results of the DUI incident. The outcome that I was initially looking at was jail time, high fines and a license suspension. He got me out of jail time, I got probation, and the fines were thrown out. All I ended up having to pay were court costs. He really did his job, and I am very appreciative of that. I highly recommend him to be hired for your DUI case or any others you may have.

• ★★★★★

  Late last year I found myself in a position that I clearly had no ability to get out of on my end. Yes, you guessed it right I caught a DUI. Feeling ashamed and embarrassed I immediately put those feelings to the side and contacted the Maronick Law Firm. From the initial consultation, Tom made me feel at ease about my situation and instructed me on everything to do before my court date I ended up getting the DUI charge dropped to a PB - no points on my license or charges on my record, just a fine and 2yrs probation. To anyone going through a similar scenario, I highly recommend you reach out to the Maronick Law Firm.
