An arrest and subsequent conviction for driving under the influence (DUI) can have a ripple effect that impacts a person's personal and professional life.
A DUI arrest also can do a number on a person's finances. According to Addiction Center, the average cost of a DUI varies widely depending on where a person is charged, ranging from $11,000 to $30,000.
The costs associated with a DUI arrest include fines and penalties once a case makes its way through the courts, legal representation and increased insurance premiums, which Addiction Center estimates could be between $4,500 and $10,000.
