Person injury attorneys will often take these types of cases on contingency which can lead to false or exagerated claims of money damages. Secondly, many people are worried whether another person's injuries will be considered serious or non-serious. Finally, anyone arrest for a DUI involving property damage will worry about how to avoid the conviction.

Special defenses exist in these cases for DUI with property damage including suppressing statements as a result of the accident report privilege, failure to read Miranda warnings and problems proving who was driving at the time of the accident.
