What Is a Vehicular Assault Charge in Tennessee?

A vehicular assault conviction can result in immediate and long-term penalties: you could be sent to prison for 2 to 12 years and serve a probationary period, as well as being fined up to $5,000. Other penalties involved with a conviction can include the loss of a college scholarship or the ability to obtain certain professional licenses or jobs. For this reason, you need experienced representation to protect your freedom.

To secure a conviction, the prosecution must prove beyond doubt that:

  • You operated a motor vehicle while intoxicated
  • While operating the vehicle, you caused bodily injury to another
  • The victim's injuries were as a direct result of your negligent operation of the vehicle

While these issues can seem straightforward, they often involve many complexities and legal obstacles. For example, we can attack the very first point by gathering evidence that provides insight into your blood alcohol content. You may not have had an illegal BAC at the time of the accident, but by the time police arrived, this may have spiked for various reasons.
