That is not a New York case since it is called vehicular assault and an aggravated DWI if over .18. In New York state the defendant would probably get several years in prison if he was drunk and seriously injured a person, but hat would defend on a number of factors.

The maximum sentence is 5 years in prison. He should hire a good lawyer.

The OWI causing serious impairment carries a 5 year maximum sentence. I cannot say what sentence he would likely face without knowing much more about his history and the facts of the case. In what county is this case?

His sentence will depend on a lot of factors, not mentioned in your question. Generally, if he is charged with a felony, which most cases like you described are, he is looking at 1 to 3 years.

This kind of matter is a felony and can result in prison time not just jail. He could go away for years. He needs a good attorney.

He needs to hire a DUI speciaist ASAP, because he could be facing a felony and going to state prison.
