Drunk Driving Accident- No medical assistance offered
I was recently involved in a one car
accident in which my car was totaled.
I was arrested on the scene after
failing a fraction of the sobriety tests
and refusing a breathalyzer.
I have since been experiencing
dizziness and headaches and believe
that I may have suffered a
concussion on the scene. Despite the
horrific crash, there was no
ambulance on the scene nor was I
ever offered medical treatment, there
or while detained. Additionally I am a
diabetic which they knew from my
identification. My question is whether
the lack of medical assistance,
combined with the effects of a
concussion, could be grounds enough
to dismiss the drunk driving charge,
as there was no breathalyzer
administered either?
