Measuring BAC is a scientific process that should be precise. However, errors can and do occur. If you suspect your BAC results were incorrect, it could mean the difference in your case. Recognizing the significance of accurate BAC measurement might just be the key to your defense. Guided by our in-depth understanding and your attorney's experience, these seemingly complex procedures can be made simple. Trust in our team to empower your defense with science.

Blood Alcohol Concentration, commonly referred to as BAC, is a measurement used to determine the amount of alcohol in a person's bloodstream. The metric, typically expressed as a percentage, affects your cognitive abilities and motor functions - key factors law enforcement examine when evaluating a DUI case. For legal purposes, most states consider drivers impaired when their BAC reaches 0.08% or higher.

It's through this lens that prosecutors often build their cases. Hence, a comprehensive understanding of BAC is essential for anyone involved in a DUI case, may it be defendants, attorneys, or otherwise. With knowledge as a foundation, accurate assessments can be made, and wrongful accusations can be avoided.

One of the most frequent ways to estimate BAC is through the use of a breathalyzer. A breathalyzer measures the amount of alcohol in the breath and uses it to infer the concentration in the blood. It's a popular choice for its non-invasive nature and the speed with which results are given. Still, it's important to note that several factors can impact the accuracy of these devices.

Breathalyzer calibration, user error, and the subject's physiology can all influence the result. If you believe your breathalyzer test result was flawed, know that we have the necessary expertise to delve into the details and question the result's legitimacy. This is not about playing the blame game; it's about ensuring justice through rigorous scientific inquiry.

For the most accurate BAC reading, a blood test is considered the gold standard. Unlike breath tests, blood tests measure the actual amount of alcohol in your blood, providing a more direct and precise result. However, proper procedure must be followed meticulously from the method of drawing blood to the manner in which samples are stored and analyzed.

Mistakes in the process can lead to contaminated samples or inaccurate BAC levels. Our understanding of these processes means we can help scrutinize the procedure used in your case. If anything was amiss, it's our role to expose the oversight and protect your rights.

Field sobriety tests are another tool used by law enforcement to gauge impairment. These physical tasks are designed to test balance, coordination, and the ability to perform multitasking exercises. However, they are inherently subjective, reliant on the officer's perception and judgement rather than on cold, hard figures.

By bearing in mind the subjective nature of these tests, our team aids in uncovering how your performance might have been misinterpreted or how certain health issues might have skewed the results. It's vital that such nuances are considered, especially when it comes to the serious implications of DUI charges.

At Brunswick & Assoc Pllc, we believe that everyone accused of DUI deserves a fair chance. Inaccurate BAC readings can unjustly sway cases, but with our scientific approach and the right legal expertise, these readings can be rigorously scrutinized and challenged. If you suspect the BAC results in your case were mistaken, let's discuss how to tackle them head-on. Ensure your rights are protected, and get in touch with us at (512) 345-1300.

Challenging a BAC reading isn't just about questioning numbers; it's about examining the whole process. From the calibration of testing equipment to the officer's protocol during the test - every detail matters. With attention to the intricate aspects of BAC measurement, every stone can be turned in your defense.

Device calibration is a cornerstone of accurate BAC measurement. Just like any measuring instrument, breathalyzers require regular calibration to function correctly. Without it, results can be skewed, leading to potential false positives.

Our team has the scientific background to understand how these devices work, and more importantly, how they can fail. By providing this insight, your attorney can call into question the validity of your breathalyzer test and by extension, the case against you. Calibration is not a triviality; it has real-world consequences.

Even with a perfectly calibrated device, human error can come into play. Law enforcement officers are trained to administer BAC tests, yet mistakes can still occur. These could range from not waiting long enough after a suspect's last drink to failing to observe the subject properly prior to administering the test.

When building your defense, these human errors can be crucial points of argument. A strong understanding of proper BAC testing protocols enables us to highlight where lapses may have occurred. The path to justice lies in the details, and we are meticulous in our examination.

Everyone's body is different, which means that BAC readings can be affected by individual physiological factors. Conditions such as diabetes, acid reflux, or even recent dental work can impact breathalyzer results, potentially leading to inaccurate readings.

By exploring the underlying health factors that could affect your BAC reading, we provide a nuanced angle from which your attorney can approach your defense. Science does not operate in a vacuum; it interacts with the complexities of the human body. We make sure your unique physiological profile is taken into account.
