Understanding Nevada DUI Laws

Criminal DUI Penalties

The criminal penalties for driving under the influence (DUI) in Nevada are some of the harshest in the nation. A first DUI offense is a misdemeanor that can result in two days to six months in jail, a fine of $400 to $1,000, and a driver’s license suspension of up to three years. A second DUI offense is a felony that can result in one to six years in prison, a fine of $750 to $1,000, and a driver’s license suspension of up to three years. A third DUI offense is a felony that can result in two to 20 years in prison, a fine of $2,000.

Independent Test Statute

The independent test statute in Nevada allows a driver who is arrested for DUI to request an independent chemical test in addition to the police-administered test. The results of the independent test can be used to challenge the results of the police-administered test.

Plea Bargaining Statute

The plea bargaining statute in Nevada allows a driver who is arrested for DUI to plead guilty to a lesser offense in exchange for a lighter sentence. This is typically done when the driver has a prior DUI conviction or when the driver’s blood alcohol content (BAC) is close to the legal limit of .08%.

Common Drunk Driving Accident Injuries

Severe Head & Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are some of the most common and devastating injuries that can result from drunk driving accidents. TBIs can range from mild concussions to severe brain damage that can lead to long-term disability or even death.

Broken & Fractured Bones

Broken and fractured bones are another common type of injury that can result from drunk driving accidents. These injuries can range from fractures that heal on their own to serious breaks that require surgery to repair.

Neck & Whiplash Injuries

Neck and whiplash injuries are common in drunk driving accidents, especially rear-end collisions. These injuries can range from mild to severe, and they can often lead to long-term pain and disability.

Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries are some of the most serious and life-altering injuries that can result from drunk driving accidents. These injuries can range from temporary paralysis to complete quadriplegia or paraplegia.

Pyschological Trauma

Drunk driving accidents can also cause psychological trauma, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This psychological trauma can often be just as debilitating as the physical injuries from the accident.

Serious Internal Injuries

Drunk driving accidents can also lead to serious internal injuries, such as organ damage or internal bleeding. These injuries can be life-threatening and often require immediate medical treatment.

Amputated Or Crushed Limbs

In some cases, drunk driving accidents can result in amputated or crushed limbs. These injuries often require surgery to repair and can often lead to long-term disability.

Soft-Tissue Injuries

Drunk driving accidents can also cause soft-tissue injuries, such as bruises, cuts, and scrapes. These injuries may seem minor at first, but they can often lead to long-term pain and disability.
