Legal Services for Floridians Facing Serious Charges: (352) 503-4111

Vehicular manslaughter in Florida is a type of manslaughter charge that is used specifically in cases where an individual is responsible for the death of another person due to criminal misconduct with a vehicle or the violation of traffic laws. Vehicular manslaughter is frequently classified as a misdemeanor but can be classified as a felony. Penalties include large fines, jail time, and loss of driving privileges and can be influenced by a number of factors such as prior convictions and even media attention on the case. Often, the person killed was occupying another vehicle, but a vehicular manslaughter charge can be given to an individual responsible for the death of a passenger in his/her own vehicle.

Vehicular manslaughter charges many times are associated with defendants involved in drunk-driving cases. If an individual causes the death of another person due to driving under the influence, he or she may be charged with a special type of vehicular manslaughter known as intoxication manslaughter. Because most drunk driving and other motor vehicle accidents are just that — accidents — defendants are charged for manslaughter instead of a murder charge, which involves intentional premeditation.
