Impaired Driving Causing Bodily Harm or Death

The defence of cases in this area involves many of the same considerations as that of impaired driving. Additional considerations will relate to issues such as the cause of death or bodily harm. Charges in this area may also be paired with allegations such as dangerous driving.

The punishment for these offences range up to life in prison for an impaired driving causing death.

Additionally, if you are convicted, ICBC will likely hold you in breach of your insurance. This can result in ICBC suing you to recover all the money they have paid out as a result of the incident.

These are obviously very serious charges and require immediate legal advice.
