Florida DUI with Serious Bodily Injury Lawyer Aggressive Felony DUI Defense

Serious bodily injury is an injury that causes significant harm to an individual beyond normal recovery. DUI with serious bodily injury is far more than an administrative matter at the DMV: it’s a third-degree felony. If you are convicted of DUI with serious bodily injury, you can face years in prison, incredibly high fines, and a permanent felony record.

The Kessler Law Firms understands that you have a lot at stake if you are facing DUI with serious bodily injury charges. With over four decades of experience as a board-certified criminal trial lawyer, Michael Kessler will aggressively advocate for your future and freedom with personalized and strategic defense.

Consequences of DUI with Serious Bodily Injury

In Florida, DUI with serious bodily charges can result in up to five years in state prison. Financially, you may be on the hook for up to $5,000 in fines plus restitution to the injured parties.

Your driver’s license may be revoked, and you will have a permanent felony record, both of which can have long-lasting impacts on your life.

Defense Strategies

The stakes are high if you are charged with DUI with serious bodily injury. The Kessler Law Firm’s proven defense strategies include:

Disputing Serious Injury Claims

Under Florida law, what separates serious bodily injury from personal injury is that serious bodily injury is devastating. This includes injuries that put the person close to death, limb amputation, blindness, and other dire conditions.

The person may be injured, but their injuries may not qualify as a “serious” injury due to a technicality.

Challenging the Accuracy of DUI Chemical Tests

Blood, breath, and urine tests are often unreliable for accurately gauging impairment. DUI chemical test results can be compromised by machine issues, lab errors, improper testing by police officers, and other factors. The Kessler Law Firm works with expert witnesses who can challenge the accuracy of DUI chemical tests and whether they detected false positives or if there was too wide a time gap between the time of testing and the time of impairment.

Plea Negotiations

As a staunch advocate for your freedom and future, we will work to reduce your charges and penalties as often as possible. In some cases, it is more beneficial to take a plea deal.
