You are DUI/DWI in Arkansas if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is .08% or greater. DUI (driving under the influence) is the term that refers to charges for drivers under 21 who had a BAC of .02% to .08%. DWI (driving while intoxicated) generally refers to the adult offense.

If you get a ticket for driving while intoxicated, you must apply for a hearing within seven days or your license will be automatically suspended 30 days from the date of arrest.

DWI First Offender Penalties

Jail
One day to one year in jail. The court may order public service instead of jail.

Fine
A fine of $150 up to $1000 fine plus court costs of $300.00.

License Suspension
120 days suspension if your BAC was under .08. Six months for drugs.

Restricted License
Under some circumstances, you can get a restricted license for work or school purposes.

Test Refusal
180 days suspension. If court orders an interlock restricted license, then the suspension period for which no restricted license will be available is a minimum of 90 days.

Ignition Interlock
If your BAC was over .18% the court will sometimes order an ignition interlock device (at your expense) to prevent you from driving your car if you have any alcohol in your system.

Education / Treatment
You will be required to complete an alcohol education program which will cost $50.00. You will be evaluated and may be ordered to submit to in-patient alcohol treatment if your history indicates the necessity.

Under 21

You are DUI if you had any alcohol at all in your system, and are subject to adult penalties (see above).

Insurance

You insurance rates will probably climb considerably, and your insurance carrier may drop you. Often increases are $1500 a year. The rates for family members and sometimes your employer can increase as well.

Illinois Work Injury Lawyers – Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD.

Accidents in the workplace are often caused by unsafe work conditions arising from ignoring safety rules, overlooking maintenance or other negligence of those in management. While we are one of the largest firms in Illinois dedicated solely to the representation of injured workers, we pride ourselves on the personal, one-on-one approach we deliver to each client.

Work accidents can cause serious injuries and sometimes permanent damage. Some extremely serious work injuries can permanently hinder a person’s ability to get around and continue their daily duties. Factors that affect one’s quality of life such as place of work, relationships with friends and family, and social standing can all be taken away quickly by a work injury. Although, you may not be able to recover all of your losses, you may be entitled to compensation as a result of your work injury. Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD. provides informed advocacy in all kinds of workers’ compensation claims, including:

• Injuries to the back and neck, including severe spinal cord injuries
• Serious head injuries
• Heart problems resulting from workplace activities
• Injuries to the knees, elbows, shoulders and other joints
• Injuries caused by repetitive movements

For Illinois Workers’ Compensation claims, you will ALWAYS cheat yourself if you do not hire an experienced attorney. When you hire Krol, Bongiorno & Given, Ltd, you will have someone to guide you through the process, and when it is time to settle, we will add value to your case IN EXCESS of our fee. In the last few years, employers and insurance carriers have sought to advance the argument that when you settle a case without an attorney, your already low settlement should be further reduced by 20% so that you do not get a “windfall.” Representing yourself in Illinois is a lose-lose proposition.
