Understanding Vehicular Manslaughter in Colorado

Colorado law defines vehicular manslaughter as causing the death of another person while operating a motor vehicle in a reckless or criminally negligent manner, or while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. This charge is a felony, and the penalties can be life-altering.

Reckless Vehicular Manslaughter: Involves driving with a conscious disregard for a substantial and unjustifiable risk.
Criminally Negligent Vehicular Manslaughter: Occurs when a person fails to perceive a substantial and unjustifiable risk and their failure constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care a reasonable person would exercise.
Vehicular Manslaughter Involving DUI: This is often the most serious form, where the death occurs as a direct result of operating a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs.

The prosecution will work aggressively to prove your guilt. It is crucial to have an equally aggressive and knowledgeable defense attorney on your side to protect your rights and explore all possible legal options.
