Los Angeles Involuntary Manslaughter Defense Attorney

Southern California Violent Crimes Defense Lawyer

Involuntary manslaughter, sometimes called criminal negligence, is the crime of unintentionally killing another human being. It often occurs when a person conducts a misdemeanor or low-level felony (most often a DUI). Involuntary manslaughter occurs when a death results due to an act of recklessness or criminal negligence. Recklessness is defined as gross disregard for the known dangers of a situation.  In California, an involuntary manslaughter charge, if shown to be a clear disregard for human life, can constitute malice.  The accused may then face a charge of murder, most often in the second degree.
