DUI blood tests are often seen as rock-solid evidence—but that’s far from the truth. At The McShane Firm, we know that science can be flawed, and we’ve built a reputation for exposing those flaws to defend our clients.
How DUI Blood Testing Works
After a DUI arrest, you may be taken to a hospital or clinic for a blood draw. The sample is then tested for blood alcohol concentration (BAC) or the presence of drugs.
But here’s the problem:
- Contamination of the sample can occur during collection or storage
- Improper handling or delays can cause fermentation, which artificially inflates BAC
- Lack of preservatives or incorrect storage temperature can compromise accuracy
- Chain of custody issues can cast doubt on who handled your blood and when
Human Error Happens
Even trained lab techs make mistakes. Results may be skewed by faulty machines, lack of calibration, or failure to follow proper lab protocols.
How We Challenge Blood Tests
Our attorneys work with independent forensic experts to review every detail of your blood test: the procedures, equipment, timing, and more. If something doesn’t add up, we’ll find it—and we’ll use it to fight for your acquittal or dismissal.
