Vehicular Homicide
Denver Vehicular Homicide Attorneys
What Is Vehicular Homicide?
Colorado law maintains that a person may be guilty of vehicular homicide if their negligence or recklessness while operating a motor vehicle causes another person’s death. In these cases, the state considers recklessness or negligence a conscious disregard of the risks associated with a person’s actions or decisions. Examples of what this looks like include driving while drunk or well over the speed limit.
These offenses are serious and often result in felony charges that carry years in prison and hefty fines. If you have been charged with vehicular homicide, do not wait to retain an experienced lawyer. Attorney J.Y. Kang and Attorney Vince Buckmelter have represented tens of thousands of clients and have the skill and know-how to show for it. They take on clients with cases in Denver, Vail, Boulder, Aurora, Commerce City, Westminster, Arvada, Lakewood, and Golden.
