What Is Intoxication Assault?

Intoxication assault is a charge that can be waged upon any individual that has unintentionally caused another person serious bodily harm while operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol and/or a controlled substance. “Serious bodily harm” is defined as any injury that is life-threatening, has caused permanent disfigurement, or has resulted in permanent physical impairment of some kind—and this type of harm must be proven in order to subject a defendant to the severe charge of intoxication assault. Intoxication assault is a third-degree felony.
