Utah Vehicular Homicide Attorney
In the eyes of the law, killing someone is a crime. If it was an accidental death, they call it involuntary manslaughter. Even though they acknowledge that it was not an intentional murder, the penalties are still extremely serious. If you are convicted, you could spend years in jail.
We provide strong criminal defense for people facing involuntary manslaughter charges in Salt Lake City and throughout Utah. We are attorneys Greg Smith and Associates. We have the experience you need on your side to help you overcome these serious charges.
What Is Involuntary Manslaughter?
An involuntary manslaughter charge hinges on allegations that someone died because you were behaving carelessly. Frequently, these charges involve vehicular homicide. Some scenarios include:
- Allegations that drunk driving caused you to hit a child with your car
- Accusations of talking on a cell phone while driving, distracting you enough to run a red light, hit another car and cause an accidental death
- Allegations that, due to an argument with someone else in the car, you were not paying attention and hit a pedestrian
Of course, not all cases involve vehicular homicide. Involuntary manslaughter charges can be related to accidental deaths caused in bar fights, altercations between neighbors, providing guests at a party too much alcohol or drugs and more. No matter what the scenario, our lawyers can help.
The Prosecution Is Not on Your Side. We Are.
If you or someone you love is facing a charge of involuntary manslaughter, you need to know that the prosecution is out to prove guilt. We know. Lead attorney Greg Smith used to be a prosecutor. This means we have a true understanding of the opposition's methods. We know how to overcome their methods in pursuit of justice for you.
