Georgia has two types of vehicular homicide charges: first-degree and second-degree. First-degree vehicular homicide is the more serious of the two charges. It requires having caused the death of another person while either in violation of Georgia’s DUI laws, Georgia’s reckless driving laws, illegally overtaking and passing a school bus, fleeing from police, committing a hit-and-run, or driving on a revoked or suspended license. The penalty for first-degree vehicular homicide is three to fifteen years in prison and a three-year period of license revocation. These sentences can vary depending on the circumstances of the accident and the driver’s criminal history.
