Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Well, those are two different questions and they are not inconsistent. Yes, you COULD be charged with negligent homicide (manslaughter), since you knew you were epileptic, but no, you should not be charged. I think most D.A.'s would have some understanding, but it is no guarantee. What county is this in? Yours is a good case for early attorney intervention. I would contact the D.A. before he decides whether to charge you or not and try to convince him not to.

But expect your license to be revoked unless you can get this totally under control so that DMV is convinced others are not in danger anymore. As it is, your doctor faces potential liability for NOT reporting you to the County Health Dept (who would then notify DMV to suspend your license).

You do need an attorney. If you are in the SF Bay Area, you can give me a call for a free consultation. I had a similar case and was able to convince the D.A. not to file. You can find my contact data at Dinday dot com.

I agree with Mr. Dinday. Early intervention by an attorney could help to convince a DA to not file charges (which, of course, is a lot better than having to fight filed charges).

If you're in Southern California I would be willing to help you.

Help comes only from hiring an attorney to represent and defend you. Do not attempt to do so 'pro per'. If serious about doing so, feel free to contact me.

I agree with the previous advice. Get a lawyer involved as soon as possible. Feel free to contact my office if the accident took place in Southern California.
