Although a significant portion of Houston auto accidents are really unintentional, even when negligence is a factor, there are many that warrant the filing of criminal charges against those liable. When an accident occurs due to simple negligence or a driver error that one may not anticipate could lead to harming others, those responsible are typically only pursued for payment for damages incurred by victims. When one’s negligence is egregious, or they purposely engage in acts of misconduct that can hurt others, they could also be criminally held accountable.
Criminal charges typically do not arise from car accidents, but there have been many that have resulted in one or more parties being charged and prosecuted. Serious charges may be brought against drivers that drink and drive or drive recklessly. The charges in these cases may range from DUI/DWI to vehicular or negligent homicide. Charges are more commonly filed in cases where accidents lead to fatalities.
Whether or not a case warrants criminal prosecution, civil damages may be pursued by victims for damages or injuries suffered from an accident. Houston car accident attorneys can help those who have sustained injuries or suffered a tragic loss due to a serious accident.
