Many drink driving prosecutions follow an accident. Unlike in non-accident cases, the police have the power to automatically require a breath sample following an accident so they do not have to have formed a suspicion that you were over the drink drive limit to require a breath test. If you test positive or are unable to supply a breath sample due to injury or the lack of an available breath testing device, the police will require an evidential sample from you at the hospital.

Drink Driving Hospital Procedure

The law surrounding what the police should and should not do when you are being treated at hospital is a minefield. Many experienced police officers, through no fault of their own, make fatal mistakes when conducting the drink driving procedures at a hospital and it is highly likely that when we scrutinise the evidence in your case, we will identify a number of issues we can validly and lawfully use to defend you against the drink driving charge you face.

Evidential breath testing devices are not available for use at the hospital and so the police will most likely require a sample of blood or urine at the hospital. In addition to procedural issues that we can most likely use in your favour, Geoffrey Miller Solicitors have developed unique case strategies in relation to blood and urine drink driving cases that have resulted in the success rates outlined in our Business Data pages.

If you were arrested for drink driving following an accident but were not taken to hospital, this in itself could form the basis of a strong defence, especially if you hit your head or lost consciousness following the collision.

When your drink driving case follows an accident you should also beware of the fact that you may face problems in recovering vehicle repair costs from your insurers. Many insurers will refuse to pay out if you are convicted of a drink driving offence following the accident that caused the damage. Instructing our drink driving solicitors team can mean a lot more than just saving your driving licence and avoiding a criminal conviction. You could also preserve your right to recover significant vehicle damage costs from your own insurers.

I have not been charged with drink driving yet – When should I instruct you?

You may have been told by police that they will be in touch with you when they receive the results from your blood or urine test. Or you may have been bailed to attend the police station. If you are in that “limbo” state, not knowing what will happen or could happen, rather than suffer in silence, we strongly recommend you get in touch with our expert drink driving solicitors to establish your options.

Many clients who were taken to hospital following an accident often have the added anxiety of not really remembering what happened at the hospital. Even if you can’t recall what happened, we know what should have happened and we know how to go about obtaining evidence to establish whether or not you should consider defending any drink driving charge likely to be laid against you.

If you want to give yourself the maximum chance of staying on the road and avoiding conviction, even if you have been told there may be no charge, we would suggest you speak to us now. Many of the details we need to know to formulate drink driving defence strategies are likely to be long forgotten if you wait until the date you are due to go to the police station.

In drink driving cases, proof of being the driver can sometimes be questionable. However, the defences we use are rarely as straight forward as this kind of factual argument and we would always recommend that you engage experts to represent you if you are serious about saving your licence and record from conviction.

We have a wide range of testimonials on this site from clients whose licence we have saved following a drink drive prosecution. Ben Woodward is one of our “Ref Me” volunteers so he has not only offered a glowing testimonial on our site but he has also volunteered to be contacted by prospective clients so you can make contact with him for an independent review of the work we did for him. His drink driving case is unlikely to be identical to your own but involved a number of challenges to hospital procedures that resulted in his being found NOT GUILTY!

Not Sure What to Do About Your Drink Driving Hospital Case?

Most people who get in touch with our team of motor offence expert solicitors are uncertain of their options. They are unaware of any legal defences that may be available and find it difficult to believe that it might be possible to defend the drink driving offence charge they face by using loopholes that apply to the rich and famous! We do represent celebrities but we also represent many hardworking motorists like Brian and we want to help you make the right choice about what you do next.

We are always more than happy to chat things through with potential clients Free of Charge. Call us now on Freephone 0800 1389 123 to speak to one of our specialist motoring offence solicitors. It is only once you decide to instruct us that payment will become necessary and we can often arrange installment plans to assist you. Many satisfied clients have thanked us for offering this free consultation service as it has prevented them from following inaccurate non-expert advice which could have led to them accepting a driving ban unnecessarily.

If you would like to spend more time browsing on the site before you get in touch, make sure you have a look at our specialist motor offence guidance features such as our drink driving ban calculator which will help you to determine the penalty you may face if convicted and our money saving calculator which helps to outline some of the hidden costs of accepting a conviction.

We think we are simply the best in the business but if you are not satisfied in taking our word for it, our unique “ask our clients” testimonials scheme allows you to contact previous clients of the firm to seek a completely independent reference about us and what we might be able to do for you.
