Facing Charges For A DUI With Property Damage?
Last updated on August 19, 2024
Many DUI arrests in Boca Raton simply happen after a traffic stop. But there are also cases in which a driver will be involved in an accident, causing property damage to another vehicle, a home, real estate or another type of property. In these cases, it may only become apparent that the driver is under the influence after the crash.
Here at The Rudman Law Group, founding attorney Douglas J. Rudman brings over 18 years of experience to the table. He’s been involved in more than 100 criminal cases, and he has also worked as a prosecutor under the Florida State Attorney’s Office. This gives him unique insight into criminal cases, and he is dedicated to providing aggressive defense for his clients.
What Is DUI With Property Damage In Florida?
There are three elements to a case like this that could lead to a conviction. They are as follows:
- You were in control of a motor vehicle.
- You were impaired at the time.
- Your operation of that vehicle led to property damage.
When the prosecution can show that all three criteria are satisfied, you need to know what defense options you have.
