What Is Vehicular Homicide in Wisconsin?
Under Wisconsin law, vehicular homicide can fall into several categories depending on the circumstances:
- Homicide by Intoxicated Use of a Vehicle (WI Stat. § 940.09)
- This involves causing the death of another person while operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
- Negligent Homicide (WI Stat. § 940.10)
This charge arises when someone causes death due to negligent driving, such as reckless speeding, distracted driving, or traffic violations—even without alcohol or drug involvement.
Both charges are felonies and carry
lengthy prison sentences, large fines, loss of driving privileges, and permanent criminal records.
