Understanding Vehicular Crimes in Tennessee
Tennessee law treats certain driving-related offenses as serious felonies — especially when an accident results in injury or death. Even if you had no intent to cause harm, you could be facing years behind bars and a felony criminal record.
Common vehicular crime charges include:
Vehicular Assault (serious injury caused while DUI)
Vehicular Homicide (death caused by reckless or DUI-related driving)
Aggravated Vehicular Assault or Homicide (prior DUIs or extremely high BAC)
Reckless Driving (dangerous operation of a vehicle, even without injury)
Reckless Endangerment (placing others at risk of serious injury)
These are not just traffic tickets — they are major criminal charges.
Potential Penalties
for Vehicular Crimes
Depending on the charge and circumstances, penalties can include:
Felony convictions
Prison sentences from 1 year to 30 years
Mandatory minimum sentences in DUI-related cases
Permanent license revocation
Hefty fines
Restitution to victims
Lifetime criminal record
If alcohol, drugs, or reckless behavior is alleged, prosecutors push aggressively for the maximum sentence.
