How do I know if I may be facing Felony DUI Charges?
A felony DUI charge results when a driver, driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or both, is involved in an accident 
while operating a vehicle and, as a result of that accident, causes “great bodily injury” or death to a person, other than himself. The person harmed could be a passenger in the drivers car, a driver or passenger in another care, a pedestrian, or another driver.
What is “Great Bodily Injury?
The State of South Carolina defines “Great Bodily Injury” as bodily injury, which creates a substantial risk of death or which causes serious or permanent disfigurement or protracted loss or impairment of the function of any bodily member or organ. Therefore, if anyone experiences any of the above mentioned as a result of an accident, and one or more of the drivers involved is under the influence of alcohol, or drugs, or both, at the time of the accident, that driver may be charged with Felony DUI. Additionally, if any injured person dies from complications related to the accident (such as a coma) within three years of the DUI-related injury, the driver may be implicated in the death.
Consequences of Felony DUI
If the person charged with Felony DUI chooses to proceed to trail and is convicted by a jury, upon conviction by a jury of a felony DUI, the accused faces a minimum mandatory prison sentence and a fine.
