Understanding Felony DUI Charges in Jacksonville

Driving on a suspended license can also be a felony, if the illegal driving resulted in a serious injury accident while the driver was suspended for a previous DUI or if the driver has prior multiple license suspension convictions. In addition to prison and a felony criminal record, felony DUI can result in license revocation of several years to life. Permanent revocation offers no opportunity for a hardship license in many cases.

• DUI Causing Property Damage — up to one year in jail.
• Multiple DUIs — three convictions within a 10-year period, or four DUIs in a lifetime, punishable by up to five years in prison.
• DUI resulting in serious bodily injury — up to five years in prison.
• DUI manslaughter — causing death due to driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs, is punishable by a minimum mandatory of four years and up to 15 years in a state prison.
