San Jose Motor Vehicle Assault Attorneys

Driving on California roads and highways and dealing with the seemingly endless traffic can be immensely frustrating. Unfortunately, sometimes this leads to aggravation for drivers who then act in a manner that is misperceived as aggression by those around them. When an individual intentionally uses his or her vehicle to inflict injury upon another motorist or a pedestrian, this may be prosecuted as motor vehicle assault. The defendant may have intended physical harm, or may have simply driven negligently or recklessly. These charges may also be prosecuted if an individual is harmed by weapons used within a motor vehicle. Those accused of this crime face harsh consequences in the state of California.

If you have been accused of this crime, it is important to speak with an attorney about your legal rights. Contact the San Jose motor vehicle assault attorneys of the Law Office of Daniel Jensen, P.C., at 408-296-4100 for a free consultation.

Dangers of Conviction

The severity of a sentence for motor vehicle assaults will depend on the degree of intent as well as the severity of injuries sustained during the assault, among other things. A second-degree assault charge may be given if the injuries were not severe. Harsher sentences will be given if a weapon was used. Some possible consequences of a conviction for motor vehicle assault are:

• Suspended license
• Loss of license
• Jail time
• Fines
