California Blood Alcohol Concentration - BAC TestsThe California DUI lawyers at Takakjian, Sowers & Sitkoff LLP have successfully defended hundreds of clients accused of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. We have a great deal of experience challenging the validity of Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) tests. Even if the blood alcohol tests have been properly administered, the accuracy of these tests can be affected by a wide range of factors which can result in the BAC test being rendered inadmissible in prosecuting California drunk-driving charges. Without valid BAC test results, a skilled California drunk driving defense attorney like those of us at Takakjian, Sowers & Sitkoff LLP may be able to have the charges completely dropped or the charges reduced. PLEASE CALL US - WE CAN HELP YOU 1-866-790-3030According to California Vehicle Code 23612, if a person is behind the wheel of a motor vehicle in the State of California and is lawfully arrested on a charge of driving under the influence, it is assumed that the driver has given consent for a breath, blood or urine test, which checks for the presence of alcohol and/or drugs in their system. Experienced California Drunk Driving Defense LawyersA Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) test measures the amount of alcohol in an accused drunk driver’s bloodstream at the time of administration. The amount of alcohol in a person’s bloodstream reaches its highest level around one hour after they have finished drinking. But variables such as a person’s metabolism, how much they weigh or how much and what kind of foods they may have eaten may increase the length of time it takes for their blood to absorb alcohol. These and other variables can affect the accuracy of a BAC and a skilled California DUI lawyer at Takakjian, Sowers & Sitkoff LLP can use these inconsistencies to challenge the accuracy of the test. To gather evidence that a driver was driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, law enforcement officials must obtain a sample of the suspect’s blood. The sample vial is supposed to contain a preservative. If there is no preservative or if there is an insufficient quantity of the preservative, the blood alcohol results may have been compromised. Our DUI law firm always sends a “split” of the vial to and independent lab for re-testing. If there is a discrepancy in the blood alcohol test results, the prosecution’s evidence may not be admissible in court for prosecuting a DUI charge. Further complicating the process, the person who draws the blood from the suspect must follow strict guidelines for storing and marking the blood test vials. An experienced California drunk driving defense attorney can question everything from the administration of the BAC test to whether or not the person who drew the blood had the proper experience and training.
