When Blood or Breath Test Results Matter
Most DUI arrests begin with a traffic stop. For one reason or another — maybe a missing taillight, alleged swerving or a missed turn signal — the police claim the right to stop your vehicle. After the stop, if they have reason to believe that you have been drinking, you may face field sobriety tests and breath tests (blood alcohol tests) to prove your intoxication.
At the Adkinson Law Firm, LLC, in DeFuniak Springs, Florida, our clients commonly ask us whether or not the police had the right to stop them. They wonder if the tests were administered correctly and if the results were accurate.
Our lawyers look into every fact and law related to your case, making sure that your rights were protected at every step of the way. We help answer questions concerning the strengths and weaknesses of your case, and we work diligently to fight criminal charges by developing a successful DUI defense strategy.
Did you know? Refusing to take sobriety or breath tests can lead to trouble — your driver's license can be suspended for up to one year.
In Florida, it is a criminal offense to drive with a blood alcohol or breath alcohol level (BAC) of .08 or above. If you are convicted, you could face serious consequences. The tests used to measure BAC — often called the breathalyzer or the Intoxilyzer — are often inaccurate, however. As attorneys, we look deeply into the matter and often challenge the results when they appear inaccurate.
