Challenging Blood Tests and Test Results in Washington
Blood tests can be an accurate way to determine the alcohol level in one's system. That being said, errors during the blood test procedure, as well as insufficient reasons for a DUI stop in the first place can violate a defendant's right to due process. At The Law Offices of Sharon Chirichillo in Olympia, Washington, our job is to ensure protection of that right and many others.
A DUI arrest does not mean a conviction is imminent. The evidence against you must be strong and every step to obtain it must have been taken within your rights. Contact us at 360-709-2188 or toll free at 877-839-2970.
Blood Testing is Far From Perfect
Tests used to determine if alcohol is present in the human body are fallible. Mistakes are made that could bring a lifetime of problems for a wrongfully convicted individual. In blood testing, a simple swab of alcohol before inserting a needle can affect the blood alcohol content of the sample. In addition, there must be a documented chain of possession of your blood. You can request an additional blood test at the hospital, but that comes out of your pocket.
