Blood Test

If you were involved in a car wreck and accused of Drunk Driving, you may be at the hospital. In such cases, the police generally do a blood draw and send it off to the KBI for testing. While blood tests are often considered the most reliable form for measuring BAC, there are numerous problems with these tests. Unfortunately, the current Kansas Statute for blood draws after an injury accident are not favorable for a DUI suspect.
