The most common way that assault by auto charges<\/a> come about is when an individual gets involved in an accident that causes injuries either to themselves, a passenger, or another person, and the person is then found to have been under the influence of alcohol. That is going to be treated as an assault by automobile, which is a criminal charge that almost always carries jail time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can A Charge For Assault By Automobile Be Reduced To A Lesser Offense?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These cases are taken extremely seriously and are almost never reduced to a lesser offense. There may be occasions where the police will simply go forward with the Cargos por conducir en estado de ebriedad<\/a> and not the assault by auto charge, but in most cases, a person almost certainly faces jail time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I Didn\u2019t Know I Was Driving In The School Zone When I Was Charged With Second-Degree Assault By Auto. Is That A Possible Defense?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, school zones are drawn very carefully. I\u2019ve had cases where a person was across a body of water from a school, and we litigated whether the school zone should be defined by the route necessary to drive there, or a straight line as if swimming there. In other cases, the hour of day may or may not be a factor, since school is in session only during certain hours of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is It A Defense To My Case That No Juveniles Were Present On The School Property Or Crossing Zone At The Time Of The Offense? What If The Events Took Place In The Middle Of The Night?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If no juveniles were present on the school property at the time of the offense, that could be a defense to the school zone portion of the charge. It could also result in the court considering sentencing or the prosecutor voluntarily lowering the charges. However, the court could come after you on the school zone component, and your criminal charges<\/a> could be elevated regardless of whether children were present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
