Chemical Tests

Reliability of DWI Chemical Tests

Advice from an Experienced DWI Lawyer in Long Island

When you are pulled over for suspicion of driving while intoxicated, it is likely you will be asked to submit a chemical test, which includes a blood, breath, or urine test to determine your blood alcohol concentration (BAC). If the results show that your BAC level exceeds the 0.08% limit, you are considered over the legal limit. It is important to keep in mind that chemical tests sometimes produce inaccurate results caused by various factors.
