Warrant Issued For Driver Involved In Fatal Crash From July 2024

Not as far as that state is concerned,they’ll take into account EVERYTHING !
And so will the lawyers.

It’s no secret for well over a decade that Indiana has been known as bad trucker country!

 

A year of probation for reckless homicide in Indiana? Keep dreaming.
Indiana is heavy handed on such charges.
Reckless homicide is a Class 5 felony in the Hoosier State.
If convicted that driver is looking at 1-6 years in prison and a fine up to $10,000.
Plus a license suspension of 2-5 years ,in which the court may recommend the length of the license suspension (it could be shorter,it could be longer).
Regardless if the HOS violation is 23 minutes or 23 hours-it’s still a violation in which a lawyer can capitalize on that(“if the driver hadn’t exceeded his on duty/driving hours he wouldn’t have been involved in the accident”)or some other BS. And that state has plenty of lawyer billboards for truck accidents. Any of those lawyers advertising would be more than happy to take a case like that,as that can be used in a civil suit against the company and the driver.
And that’s just 2 charges to contend with.

 

No-have you?
I lived in Indiana (2005-2007) and in that state sometimes plea deals aren’t going to be on the table.
Also in Indiana once you are sentenced,in accordance with their statutes they send you off to start serving time immediately,no time to settle up affairs.
