According to a study by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), of the 2,335 children who died in a car accident that involved a DUI driver between the years1997 and 2002, 68 percent of them were in the car that was being operated by the intoxicated driver. As a result of these findings, areas throughout the country have adopted tough child endangerment laws for those who choose to drive under the influence while having children in the passenger seats. If you are arrested for drunk driving in south Florida with a child riding with you, not only will you be charged for drunk driving, but you will get additional charges and penalties for endangering the life of the child passenger. These consequences for child endangerment can include additional jail time and fines on top of the penalties that are given for the DUI violations. If you were arrested for drunk driving with a child passenger, you need to speak to a DUI attorney from our law firm to learn about your legal rights and how we can protect them.
