Vehicular Manslaughter

In Arizona, if you are driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs when a fatal traffic accident occurs, you might be charged with manslaughter. Recklessly causing the death of another person qualifies for a manslaughter classification in Arizona, and it is not unusual for an intoxicated driver's actions to be viewed as "reckless." Manslaughter is a Class 2 felony, and it typically carries a prison sentence of 3 to 12.5 years for first-time offenders.
