DUI / OUI Blood Test

Each month, Pennsylvania sees hundreds of individuals charged with Driving Under the Influence (DUI) or Operating Under the Influence (OUI). When an arrest occurs, law enforcement officers frequently administer both breath and blood tests. While blood tests are widely recognized for their accuracy, refusing to take one can trigger an automatic license suspension and other severe penalties. If an adult’s Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) registers at 0.08% or higher—or 0.02% for individuals under the age of 21—a DUI/OUI offense will be charged. However, challenging these lab results in court is entirely possible. To navigate this complex legal process successfully, you need the guidance of a highly skilled legal professional.

What You Need to Know

In Pennsylvania, exceeding the permissible BAC limits will lead to severe criminal charges. Furthermore, arresting officers possess discretionary powers. This means that even if your BAC is below the 0.08% or 0.02% thresholds, you can still face charges if the officer testifies that your ability to safely control the vehicle was visibly impaired. Fighting these test results in court can potentially save you from a damaging conviction. To properly build your defense strategy, a knowledgeable Mercer criminal lawyer can help you carefully evaluate the following critical aspects:

• Challenging the proper preservation of the blood sample, as poor storage conditions can easily cause misleading outcomes.
• Contesting the mishandling or improper mixing of the blood sample, which could lead to highly inaccurate figures.
• Raising serious concerns about potential contamination or incorrect test administration, casting doubt on the reliability of the reports.
• Pursuing an independent analysis of the blood samples, allowing new results to be presented as robust evidence in court.
