FAQs
Defending against a vehicular assault charge requires a strong defense. One possible defense against a vehicular assault charge is proving that you weren't driving the vehicle. Additionally, you could argue that witness testimony is inconsistent or that your driving was not reckless.
Other potential defenses include:
proving that the accident wasn't your fault
you weren't impaired
your Miranda rights were violated
law enforcement misconduct occurred
the victim didn't suffer serious injuries
Consult a criminal defense attorney to develop a strong defense strategy tailored to your case’s specific circumstances.
Careless driving occurs when a driver makes a momentary mistake on the road. This may include a minor error like not paying attention or adjusting to changing road conditions. It’s a less serious offense than reckless driving.
Reckless driving, on the other hand, involves a conscious disregard for safety. It’s a more serious offense demonstrating a willful disregard for the potential risks of one’s actions. Aggressive lane changes in heavy traffic is an example of reckless driving.
The minimum sentence for vehicular homicide in Colorado is four years in prison plus fines. However, the actual sentence can vary depending on the circumstances of the case and any aggravating factors.
