Daniel T. Geherin, Licensing Lawyer in Ann Arbor Advises Clients on Moving Violations

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Nov. 24, 2020 - PRLog -- In 2010, Michigan abolished its felony statutes on Negligent Homicide and Felonious Driving, both of which covered accidents in which a driver could be punished for his negligence if it resulted in a serious injury or death. In their place, Michigan enacted a misdemeanor charge called "Moving Violation Causing Serious Bodily Injury or Death" pursuant to MCL 257.601d. In a nutshell, these statutes require proof that the driver committed any Michigan moving violation (https://www.milicenselawyer.com/learn/more/moviing-violations-license-reinstatement-mi) (i.e., speeding; failing to yield; red light or stop sign) resulting in the accident which caused serious bodily injury or death.

Despite its misdemeanor designation, this charge is extraordinarily serious and has significant impact both in the courtroom and for the driver's license. Judges often impose jail sentences, up to one year, for these convictions, even if the driver has no prior criminal or traffic history.
