Challenging your breath test results

On Behalf of | Apr 3, 2017 | Drunk Driving Defense

If you were recently charged with driving under the influence, a family member of yours is facing DUI charges or you are you are ever pulled over for drunk driving in the future, you may have a number of questions. For example, you may be wondering how these accusations could alter the course of your life and be unsure of how to handle the situation. At Schimizzi Law, we know how upsetting and stressful these charges often are for people in Greensburg and across the whole state of Pennsylvania.

With blood alcohol level tests, there are many factors to consider. For example, did a law enforcement official have probably cause to pull you over and subject you to a breath test? Did the breath test machine provide results that were not accurate? Or, did you test positive even though you had not consumed any alcohol? If you have used mouthwash which contained alcohol, this may trigger a false positive from a breath test machine.

Drunk driving charges can completely change your options throughout life and will likely have a negative impact on your future. Whether you experience difficulties looking for work years later or are sentenced to prison and have to spend time sitting behind bars, it is very important for you to stand up for your legal rights if you suspect that your breath test results might be inaccurate.
