Felony DUI

Fort Myers Felony DUI Attorney

Is a DUI a Felony in Florida?

While the majority of DUI-related crimes will be prosecuted as misdemeanors, there are some circumstances when they will be considered felonies. When aggravating factors are present, such as an extremely high BAL or a minor child in the vehicle, even a first time offense can be prosecuted as a felony.

In Florida, even a second DUI offense will typically be considered a misdemeanor. Again, if there are aggravating factors, such as a BAL of 0.15% or higher, the penalties and consequences will increase, with the potential of felony prosecution.

A DUI offense will be considered a felony if:

  • It is a third DUI conviction within 10 years of prior offenses
  • It is a fourth or subsequent DUI conviction
  • The driver caused serious injury to themselves or other individuals
  • The driver caused death to any individual, even a passenger or unborn child
  • If the driver caused death to any human being or an unborn child
  • If a driver causes death or flees the scene of the accident
