DUI DWI Laws
Most people agree that driving while you are high and/or drunk is not a good idea, but it is also a very common and sometimes difficult to avoid occurrence in America’s geographically dispersed car culture. Residents of Oregon should be aware that the state’s drunk driving laws are some of the toughest in the country, making DUII (Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants) an extremely serious offense. If you’ve been charged with DUII, you’ll want to have an experienced Oregon DUII lawyer on your side to ensure you make the best possible decisions throughout your case.
A conviction for DUII, also known as DUI or DWI, can have numerous consequences, including:
- Jail time, minimum two days
- Large fines, minimum $1,000
- Community service, minimum 80 hours
- Alcohol education classes
- Loss of license or driving privileges
- Installation of an interlock device on your vehicle
Losing your driving privileges can create major obstacles in your everyday life. After a DUII arrest, you are at risk of losing your license both criminally (through the court) as well as civilly (through the DMV). A DMV hearing is used to determine whether you will keep or lose your license, regardless of whether or not you are convicted. Long term consequences of a DUII conviction can include difficulty obtaining employment, maintaining professional licenses, and qualifying for financial aid for schools. In addition, those offenders that are professional motor vehicle operators may lose their commercial driver’s license and be completely out of work.
In order for a person to be convicted for DUII in the state of Oregon, the must be prove that a person was driving a vehicle on premises open to the public while under the influence of an intoxicant. If you are arrested for a suspected DUII, you will be asked to take a breath, blood or urine test.

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

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.
