California criminal defense lawyer, John Murray explains Vehicle Code 23153 VC -- 'DUI causing injury'. If because you were driving under the influence, you injure another person, prosecutors will likely charge you with "DUI with injury" under California Vehicle Code section 23153 VC.1 This charge is a "wobbler," which means that it may be prosecuted as either a misdemeanor or as a felony depending on the circumstances of the offense, and your criminal history, with particular emphasis placed on your prior DUI history. California first enacted drunk driving laws in 1911. These laws prohibited driving while intoxicated. "Intoxicated" was loosely defined and, as a result, lobbyists sought stricter enforcement.
