A DUI is a serious offense, but when it involves the injury or death of another party, it becomes a federal offense. In this case, the charge is considered a felony DUI and the punishment is much more severe. The potential punishments include license suspension and possible imprisonment in the state penitentiary.

According California’s Vehicle Code: Section 23153:

“Any person who, while under the influence of intoxicating liquor, or under the combined influence of intoxicating liquor and any drug, drives a vehicle and when so driving does any act forbidden by law or neglects any duty imposed by law in the driving of such vehicle, which act or neglect proximately causes bodily injury to any person other than himself, is guilty of a felony. “
