Building a Solid Defense for Vehicular Manslaughter Charges

Manslaughter cases can be complicated. Unlike homicide cases where the intent is present, you had no intent to cause the death, as the collision was entirely accidental. However, this can make it difficult for you to fight the charges. A Birmingham vehicular manslaughter attorney from Tidwell Law Group, LLC can argue instead for causation—that the death alone is not enough to convict you of manslaughter.

It is the prosecution’s job is to show a connection between the death and the conduct of the defendant. Even if you are not completely successful in causing doubt over causation, you may still be able to have your charges reduced to a less serious offense such as criminally negligent homicide.
