Legal Question in DUI Law in Massachusetts

car accident alcohol related

I was not charged with anything, I hit a telephone pole spoke with a police officer, was very disoriented, and I had alcohol earlier in the evening. I was brought to the hopsital the paramedic recommended it due to low blood sugar. and while at the hospital i was asked to blow into a machine (i was still confused at the time) which turns out was a breathalyzer and blew a .1. The dr. told me ''It's okay it happend here'' Will these results be used in the incident report for the police? Will I be charged with a DUI?

It is possible that the results could be used against you. If you are in Massachustts you can contact me, or if you are in Rhode Island you should contact a Rhode Island Lawyer. I know one who practices in RI regularly, and is quite good.

You should retain an attorney and discuss this matter ONLY within the attorney/client privilege as there is no reason that the state could not subpeona thise medical tests results if they are inclined to bring charges against you arising from the accident.
