DUI with property damage is a misdemeanor. It is often the charge received when there is a crash. However, it can also be charged when a driver damages property such as a street sign or mailbox. In order to be convicted of DUI with property damage, the State must prove not only the DUI, but that the property harmed was not your own.

A DUI with property damage carries additional penalties. If convicted of DUI, a client may be required to pay restitution. Restitution is money paid to the person who owned the damaged property.
