Martin County DUI Defense Lawyer
Blood Alcohol Content
When law enforcement suspects a person of DUI (driving under the influence) they may ask to administer a blood test to measure the concentration of alcohol in a person’s blood; known as blood alcohol content (BAC). When a person has been drinking and driving a motor vehicle with a BAC at or above 0.08% they can be charged with DUI in Florida. If they are driving a commercial vehicle they can face DUI with a BAC of 0.04%. In addition, if a person is under 21 they can face DUI charges with a BAC as low as 0.02%, which is equal to about just one drink.
It is very important for anyone accused of DUI to meet and discuss their case with a Stuart DUI lawyer as soon as possible. An experienced lawyer will be well aware of a person’s legal rights in addition to the many defenses that may help to support their DUI case.
