New York DWI Blood Alcohol Content Attorney

New York DWI Defense Lawyers

Are the Police Claiming Your BAC Was Over the Limit?

Blood alcohol content (BAC) is the evidence most commonly used in drunk driving cases and one of the most important concepts in DWI law. It is important that you hire an attorney who knows what BAC is, how it's measured and how dependable (or undependable) those measurements are.

I'm Tom Anelli, the DWI Guy. I and the other attorneys at my firm have an in-depth understanding of the relevance of BAC in DWI cases. We represent clients throughout New York State. No matter where you are charged in New York State, I'm confident my firm will give you the best possible outcome due to our extensive training and sole focus on DWI Defense. Contact us today to get an experienced DWI lawyer on your side.

What Crimes Can You Get Charged With Based on Your BAC?

Under New York law, alcohol-related driving offenses are defined partially on the basis of the driver's blood alcohol content. While other evidence can be used to prove intoxication, BAC is often the most convincing proof. There are several different offenses associated with BAC.

  • .02 is enough to violate the Zero Tolerance Law if you are under 21.
  • .05 can get you charged with the crime of driving while ability impaired (DWAI).
  • .08 is the threshold for the standard charge of DWI.
  • .18 can increase your DWI penalties under the aggravated DWI statute.

Your blood alcohol content can also influence the penalties you will face if you are convicted of a DWI-related crime like vehicular assault or vehicular homicide. The lawyers at my firm can explain how your BAC is likely to impact your specific charges.

How Is Blood Alcohol Content Determined?

There are several tests that can be used to read or estimate your percentage of blood alcohol content. The most common of these is the breath test, also known as the breathalyzer test. If it is impossible for the police to take a breath test, they will often take a blood or urine test.

The New York DWI attorneys at my firm receive specific training on each of these types of tests so we can identify errors and inconsistencies. Contact us today to discuss whether we can call the BAC evidence against you into question.
