Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida

I was driving a bicycle at about 20 miles an hour home from work in Florida in the evening. I smoked marijauna that morning. The chain broke and jammed my sprocket. It stopped the bike cold And I went flying. I went unconcious.Woke up in the ER with my ear cut off (later reattached). A police officer was there while I was waiting for the plastic surgon on call to come.He requested or rather demanded a blood test, said he smelled alcohol. I did not drink any. I consented not realizing who it was while I was in pain. I was not worried about the alcohol and did not consider the weed I smoked that afternoon.They sent it off for testing. 20 days later still waiting for the results. Can I expect to be charged with driving under the influence or is there hope that I will not be charged. Remember this is Florida. If I am charged will I be allowed notice to turn myself in or will they come for me. What are the odds of me being charged with it?

Car accident lawyer nor a personal injury attorney is not what you need. You need to discuss your situation with a criminal lawyer.
