Vehicular Manslaughter Defense Attorneys in San Diego
Vehicular manslaughter cases combine a victim's death with conduct that is almost always accidental and unintentional. This often leaves ample room for negotiations with legal authorities.
At The Law Offices of Kerry L. Armstrong, APLCg, we have handled numerous cases of vehicular manslaughter, DUI manslaughter, gross vehicular manslaughter, and vehicular homicide. Do you face charges of killing or injuring someone while driving:
- After leaving a bar?
- After consuming drugs or alcohol?
- In conjunction with a traffic violation?
We work with accident reconstructionists to fully investigate each vehicular manslaughter charge, and have won positive results using the facts of the case. For instance:
- Sometimes the accident isn't the fault of the driver. One case we handled involved a negligent (jaywalking) pedestrian.
- Sometimes others' carelessness factors in. In one case we handled, a passenger died while our client drove the car while high on cocaine. We argued that cocaine doesn't necessarily decrease driving abilities, and that the victim would have survived if she had worn a seat belt.
In cases where the evidence against our client is strong, we can seek to minimize the consequences by showing our client in a positive light at sentencing. This may include the use of:
- Diplomas
- Work histories
- Military records
- Character letters from families, friends, co-workers and teachers
When district attorneys and judges see the accused as a human being, it can make them more lenient. For more information regarding our firm and vehicular manslaughter charges, contact our office for a no-charge consultation.
