Attorney Answers Palm Beach County DUI QuestionCan I be charged with a DUI, leaving the scene of an accident, and charged with damages over $50.00 a month later? I was in a car accident in Palm Beach County, Florida (left the scene to call for a tow truck). I had a bottle of alcohol that I started drinking on the way home while walking. Stopped by an police officer 6/10"s of a mile from accident. Asked if I was in an accident? I said yes! He then had me taken to the hospital even though I had no injuries. I was ticketed a month later for DUI and I was not even pulled over or driving under the influence at the time of the accident. My ticket says Probable cause pursuant for DUI and leaving the scene of a crash, and damages of $50.00 for some bark damaged on a tree that I hit.
Attorney's Response to DUI Question from Palm Beach CountyThe ticket is legal, although it will be an interesting trial. Hiring a DUI lawyer in Palm Beach County, Florida might well make the difference between being found guilty or not on the DUI, and that is definitely worth the cost. Based on what you've written, you're not guilty of DUI, only leaving the scene of the accident. However, the problem is that your story is what lawyers call "self-serving," meaning it sounds like it's set up to protect you rather than being the truth, and you'll have to establish and defend your credibility to have this story believed. That's where the DUI/DWI lawyer in Florida will make the difference, if it goes to trial; there's also a fair chance that with an attorney, the prosecutor will agree to accept a guilty plea on leaving the scene and dismiss the DUI.
