If the injury is “not serious,” then it is a misdemeanor. If the injury is “serious,” then you can be charged as a felony. Whether you go to jail depends on the nature of the injuries, why you were suspended to begin with, among other factors. Getting an attorney with experience in these matters increases the odds of avoiding jail.
