What Is Vehicular Manslaughter in Maryland?

Under Maryland law, vehicular manslaughter — also referred to as manslaughter by vehicle — occurs when a person causes the death of another individual through negligent or criminally negligent operation of a motor vehicle. Unlike murder charges, intent to kill is not required. However, the consequences are still severe.

Maryland recognizes two primary categories:

• Gross Negligence Vehicular Manslaughter – A felony charge carrying up to 10 years in prison and fines up to $5,000.
• Criminal Negligence Vehicular Manslaughter – A misdemeanor charge that can still result in up to 3 years of incarceration.

Vehicular homicide charges often arise in the context of distracted driving, excessive speeding, running red lights, or driving under the influence. Being charged does not mean you are guilty. An experienced vehicular manslaughter lawyer can evaluate the facts of your case and build a defense strategy to protect your rights.
