The majority of DUI arrests and prosecutions result in minor charges and convictions. However, when a person is arrested for several DUI charges or causes a DUI accident, a DUI with injury, or a fatal DUI accident, the conditions might become more serious. In Florida, a felony DUI can be charged in a variety of conditions. Florida Statute details the procedures for filing charges, which include the following:

Recurring Offenders

A fourth DUI is an automatic felony punishable by a fine of up to $5,000 and up to five years in state prison. However, it is critical to remember that anyone convicted of a third DUI within ten years also commits a third-degree felony punishable by up to $5,000 in fines, five years in Florida State Prison, or both.

DUI Resulting in Injury

Anyone convicted of causing significant physical injury while driving under the influence is guilty of a third-degree felony punished by a maximum $5,000 fine, five years in Florida State Prison, or a combination of the two. This may also apply if the defendant is a persistent traffic offender in Florida or a violent criminal offender.

DUI Fatality Felony 

DUI fatalities are distinct from other types of accidents. These accidents, dubbed DUI manslaughter, are charged as felonies, carrying a maximum fine of $10,000, a jail sentence of up to 30 years, and a lifetime driver’s license revocation.
