That depends on who is prosecuting the case. Who is your prosecutor?

An accident causing seriuos injury doesn't help matters, but it is not out of the question. Speak to an attorney in your area to discuss your matter further.

I doubt you would be given a non-alcohol offer, especially since there was an accident with injuries. If your first offense was reduced to a reckless, this is technically your first offense.

Very unlikely given the set of facts you have outlined, but you never know.

Yes - but your chances are much better with a qualified DUI attorney.

Possibly, but you need to hire a DUI specialist, and do it soon because you have only 10 days to save your license.

Possibly. It would be up to the prosecutor.

With someone being hurt the odds are against it.

Most counties will not agree to reduce a OWI charge to a reckless unless there is a good reason. You will have to work it out with the prosecutor.
