At Bhatt Law Group, we fight to get our clients maximum compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Insurance companies will try to pay you as little as possible—don't settle for less than you deserve. Our experienced personal injury attorneys know how to negotiate with insurance adjusters and take your case to court if necessary.
- Q. I was in an accident and received a DUI in NJ with an ethanol level of 51.6. What to expect?
- A: Based on your reported ethanol level, it’s likely that you were over the legal limit in New Jersey, where the per se limit for DUI is 0.08% BAC. However, various factors can impact your case, including hospital testing procedures and legal defenses. You may face DUI charges, potential license suspension, fines, and other legal consequences. It's crucial to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to understand your options and build a defense. Contact us for a free consultation—we can review your case and guide you on the best next steps.
