How Vehicular Homicide Will Affect You
The prosecution must prove that the death of the victim was caused by a driver who was under the influence, driving recklessly or was negligent.
If the driver was under the influence and is charged with a felony of the second degree for a DUI or DWI, the punishment for vehicular homicide may be up to eight years in prison and a driver’s license suspension for life.
When a driver is convicted of vehicular homicide for operating a vehicle recklessly, then this crime is a felony of the third degree, punishable by up to five years in prison and a driver’s license suspension of three years to life.
If the driver was operating the vehicle negligently, vehicular homicide is a misdemeanor of the first degree and is punishable by up to six months in jail and a driver’s license suspension of one year to five years.
