Can you get charged with a DUI a year after it occured?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
They can because the statute of limitations hasn't expired yet. They have up to six years from the date of the offense to bring charges. It is not that uncommon for DUI cases involving blood draws because it takes an inordinate amount of time for the lab results of a blood test to come back from the State Police Crime Lab. If frequently takes anywhere from six months to a year and then you have to factor in the time for the warrant request to set on the prosecutors desk before they get around to signing it. What you need to do is retained an experience DUI attorney in your area as soon as possible.

What will happen to me if someone was driving my car and that person got a DUI?

Answered by attorney Nathaniel D Shafer
DUI/DWI lawyer at Natty Shafer Law
Criminally, it is unlikely that anything is done against you. Most prosecutors are too busy to bring aiding and abetting charges for lending your car to an intoxicated person, because then they would have to prove both that you knew or should have known the person was going to drive drunk. Civilly, you could be sued if the person caused any property damage, but assuming the DUI person was just pulled over without a crash, then you won't incur civil liability. Most likely, you will just have to pay to get your car out of impound.
