Common Types of Felony DWI in New York

Here are some circumstances that could lead to a felony DWI charge in New York:

• Multiple DWI convictions: If you have previously been convicted of DWI or DWAI (Driving While Ability Impaired) within the past ten years, a subsequent DWI offense can be charged as a felony. A second DWI or DWAI-Drug is a Class E felony, while a third DWI or DWAI-Drug is a Class D felony.
• Aggravated DWI: Driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.18% or higher can result in an aggravated DWI charge, which is a misdemeanor. However, if you have a prior DWI conviction within the past ten years, a subsequent offense with a high BAC can be charged as a Class E felony. A third offense is a Class D felony.
• DWI causing serious injury: If you operate a motor vehicle while intoxicated and cause serious physical injury to another person, you can be charged with a Class E felony DWI. Serious injury refers to injuries that pose a substantial risk of death, cause disfigurement, or result in the loss or impairment of a body organ or limb.
• DWI resulting in death: If your intoxicated driving leads to the death of another person, you can face Class D felony charges. This offense is commonly known as vehicular manslaughter or vehicular homicide.
