What is aggravated dwi?

Aggravated DWI is a more serious offense than a standard DWI charge, typically due to certain factors that aggravate the situation. These factors can include having a high blood alcohol concentration (BAC), being a repeat offender, driving with a minor in the vehicle, causing injury or death while driving under the influence, or refusing to submit to a chemical test.

The penalties for aggravated DWI are typically more severe than those for a standard DWI charge. This can include higher fines, longer license suspension or revocation, mandatory alcohol education or treatment programs, community service, and even jail time.

In some states, aggravated DWI may be charged as a felony, which can result in even harsher penalties and consequences. It is important to seek legal representation if you are facing an aggravated DWI charge to ensure that your rights are protected and to potentially mitigate the consequences of the charge.
