DUI Accident Charges in Idaho

A DUI accident significantly increases the severity of a standard DUI case. Prosecutors often file enhanced charges, and judges have broad discretion in sentencing. If injuries or fatalities are involved, you may be charged with a felony, even with no criminal history. Additionally, insurance companies, employers, and licensing boards may take adverse action that affects your livelihood.

Even if no one is injured, causing property damage while under the influence can still result in criminal charges, civil liability, and license suspension.

Consequences of Injuring Someone in a DUI Accident

If a DUI accident results in serious injury to another person, prosecutors can file a felony aggravated DUI charge under Idaho Code § 18-8006. 

Penalties may include:

• Up to 15 years in prison
• A minimum of 30 days in jail
• Fines up to $5,000
• A felony conviction on your permanent record
• Driver’s license suspension or revocation
• Mandatory alcohol or drug treatment
• Restitution to the injured party
