Vehicular homicide is a serious crime. Sometimes called "vehicular manslaughter," vehicular homicide is the unlawful killing of another person with a vehicle without the intent to kill. Although commonly associated with drunk driving, or driving under the influence of drugs or narcotics, vehicular homicide charges can be filed whenever the death involves an illegal or negligent driving accident such as drag racing, etc.
An individual charged with vehicular homicide may face many years in jail and other serious consequences, including large fines. As a result, when you, a friend or loved one is arrested or charged with vehicular homicide, you should immediately consult an attorney with the expertise to handle these cases.
