Gwinnett County DUI Car Accident

Each year, alcohol is a factor in thousands of accidents across the country. If you were involved in a car accident while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, the penalties you face are even more severe than for DUI alone. Even though the stakes are high for a Gwinnett County DUI car accident charge, the right attorney could help you avoid a conviction or even have your charges reduced to a lesser offense.

To convict you for both the DUI offense and accident, the prosecution must prove that you were responsible for the collision. Fortunately, many DUI lawyers find accident cases to be the easiest to fight. If the law enforcement agent fails to collect enough evidence to show that you caused the accident, this may help your case. Your DUI lawyer can use this lack of evidence to argue that you are not liable for the crash.

Your DUI lawyer may reach out to an accident reconstruction specialist for help investigating your car accident. The specialist will collect evidence from the scene of the accident, such as tire marks, interview witnesses, and research the weather conditions at the time of the collision. He or she will also look at the cars involved in the crash and investigate if any of the vehicle parts were recalled by the manufacturer or were not in good working condition. After gathering all of this evidence, the accident reconstruction specialist can determine what (or who) was at fault for the collision and testify on your behalf during the trial.

Your lawyer will also investigate your accident by reviewing videotape evidence and the police report. He or she will also investigate the results of your breathalyzer tests to determine if the results are accurate or were skewed by improper administration of the test or a breathalyzer machine that was not calibrated or maintained according to manufacturer guidelines.
