Understanding Criminal Traffic Offenses in Tampa Bay

Criminal traffic offenses extend beyond just getting a traffic ticket. These types of offenses include a serious violation of traffic laws leading to misdemeanor or felony charges. Criminal traffic offenses are different from civil traffic infractions in that they can result in a permanent criminal record. Therefore, individuals facing such charges should equip themselves with a Tampa criminal traffic lawyer who can help them aggressively fight their charges.

Some of the criminal traffic offenses commonly seen at Brancato Law Firm, P.A. include:

• Driving under the influence. DUI charges are brought forward when an individual operates a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Reckless driving. Reckless driving charges include operating a vehicle with a willful disregard for the safety and well-being of other individuals around them on the road.
• Driving with a revoked or suspended license. These charges involve driving a vehicle without having adequate licenses or permissions.
• Fleeing the scene of an accident. These charges are brought forward if an individual has been accused of leaving an accident scene after being involved in or causing an accident.
• Vehicular manslaughter. Vehicular manslaughter is a serious crime that involves causing the death of another individual while operating a motor vehicle.
• Repeated traffic offenses. Violations that are committed multiple times can lead to escalated penalties.

Whether you are facing a first-time DUI charge or charges for a more serious offense like vehicular manslaughter, the experienced and skilled criminal defense team at our law firm is here to help you design and implement an optimal defense strategy, working to obtain a positive case result.
