DUI

In DUI cases, the medical and toxicology evidence is often the foundation of the prosecution’s case. Blood alcohol content (BAC), field sobriety test results, and physical signs of impairment can be misinterpreted or misrepresented. A forensic trial nurse brings the expert medical knowledge you need to challenge this evidence and offer a robust defense.

A forensic trial nurse specializing in DUI cases can:

Analyze toxicology reports to uncover potential errors in BAC testing, timing, or sample handling.

Evaluate medical records for conditions that may mimic signs of impairment, such as fatigue, medications, or underlying health issues.

Challenge field sobriety test results, identifying how medical conditions, injuries, or medications could impact performance.

Provide expert testimony on how factors like metabolism, medication interactions, or medical history may have influenced BAC levels or perceived impairment.

Clarify medical and toxicology terminology for the jury, ensuring they fully understand the complexities of the evidence being presented.

When medical evidence plays a pivotal role in your DUI case, having a forensic trial nurse on your defense team can be the difference between conviction and acquittal. Their expertise allows you to challenge the prosecution’s assumptions and present alternative, medically sound explanations.
