can a convicted felon for dui with serious bodily injuries, greencard holder who has already serves his time leave the US and return without a problem?
"Take the chance" is not a good thing to do. I suggest you consult with an immigration lawyer to go over your situation in total before deciding what to do. If you have a felony DUI that means you also have a misdemeanor DUI so you have at least 2 criminal convictions to factor in.
You need to consult your immigration attorney about this. I am changing the practice area to immigration to make it more likely that your question will come to the attention of immigration lawyers.
Do you have multiple convictions?
If any answer on helps you, mine or someone else’s, please mark it as "helpful" or "best answer" to help know which answers to show others.
Thank you.

I would confirm this with an immigration attorney, but my understanding is that if you are a non-citizen and have a felony conviction there is a high probability, if not quite a certainty, that you will be stopped at the border and held for deportation upon your return. In fact, it has happened to a few of my own clients, so if I were you and I was concerned about staying here in the States, I would not risk the border crossing.

Let me preface my answer by saying that you should retain the counsel of a competent immigration attorney near you for advice on how to proceed with your case. The felony conviction would classify as an aggravated offense under immigration law. To my understanding, because you are an LPR, the conviction would prevent you from becoming a citizen absent a 212 waiver. In order to apply for a 212 waiver, you will be required to leave the country, and apply for the waiver upon re-entry; which would be very, very difficult without some extreme exigent circumstances. You really, really need to get an attorney as soon as possible, to review all the facts of your individual case, I cannot stress this enough...
