What is an Aggravated DUI (Accident/Injury)?

An Aggravated DUI (Accident/Injury) under 625 ILCS 5/11-501(d)(1)(F) occurs when impaired driving causes bodily harm to another person.

In Illinois, any injury during a DUI - even minor injuries - triggers felony charges. This includes injuries to passengers, other drivers, pedestrians, or anyone else. The injury doesn't need to be severe; bruises, soreness, or any physical harm counts. The state must prove your impairment caused the accident and injuries.

An Aggravated DUI (Accident/Injury) charge means facing prison time and civil lawsuits from victims.
