Vehicular Assault

Vehicular Assault in Washington is a Class B felony, which is punishable by up to 10 years in jail. Vehicular Assault can be committed many ways, and each way has its own separate punishment structure; for example, Vehicular Assault by Being Under the Influence has a standard range of 3-9 months if the person has no prior history, while Vehicular Assault by Operation of a Vehicle with Disregard for the Safety of Others has a standard range of 1-3 months for a similarly situated individual.

In addition to jail and fines, conviction usually carries with it license revocation.

RCW 46.61.522, the Vehicular Assault statutes, says:

(1) A person is guilty of vehicular assault if he or she operates or drives any vehicle:
- (a) In a reckless manner and causes substantial bodily harm to another; or
- (c) With disregard for the safety of others and causes substantial bodily harm to another.

"Substantial bodily harm" has the same meaning as in RCW 9A.04.110.
