My truck was in a one car accident. Another person that was in the truck got serious injured. The cops showed up asking who truck was it, for my driver license and what happen. Than ask if I am prescribe anything, an can I drive while taking them. I past a sobriety test. Nothing else was said. The EMT came over an told me I was going to the hospital for evaluation. I was checked out an signed papers saying I did not need no further treatment. I went check on the other person in the car. Told come back 30 mins they were going to do cat scans. I left hospital called family. While I was going back to hospital about 40 mins later, a cop came up to me put arms around my chest an told me I was going to get blood work done. I refused an asked why the an next thing I was arrested.
Yes, you will be charged with a DUI and considering there was a serious accident in this case, you could be possibly looking at prison time. YOu need to hire the very best defense attorney you can afford.
Morning! You can absolutely fight the suspension. Florida and the Department of Highway Safety and motor vehicles have specific requirements for contesting suspensions, including those from a refusal to submit to a blood alcohol test. But there are time constraints for this to get done and you have to react quickly to get the relief you want. Don't hesitate to call any attorney, you must do so within 10 days of your arrest! I'm available 24 hrs at (786) 693-3900. I'd be happy to help.

Agreeing with my colleague above but adding one more point.
When a traffic accident occurs and there is an injury to passengers or to people in other vehicles involved, the accident becomes much more substantial to those involved. If alcohol or prescription drugs are also involved in the accident, the whole world stops. If the facts above are as described, I would not hesitate to hire a lawyer now. In Mississippi, these sort of charges are brought after being presented to a grand jury. I don't know if the same goes for PA.
Talk to a very experienced and tough DUI attorney that is ready for litigation of your case. Many offer free consultations.
You could get a DUI depending on any admissions you may have made about being on medications to the officer, but you are also facing a mandatory 12 month license suspension simply for refusing the testing. Contact a criminal defense attorney right away to discuss any defenses you may have to either the DUI or the refusal suspension.
Your case presents some interesting facts. I agree with my colleagues...you should contact an experienced attorney in your area to review all of your facts and potential legal issues. As most have said, most lawyers offer an initial free consultation.
