Gonzalez, FL DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

I would recommend going to the clerk of court office in the county where this happened. Ask to review the clerks file, in Florida this is a public record. As you indicate you were a juvenile when the event occurred this can take longer to process but eight months is way out of line.

Check the Police Agency policy manual. In Florida there is no requirement police take accident victims to a hospital. If you request EMT's be called they will be; if they appear for the other driver they will always offer to check out the other people involved in the crash. Police will approve transport to a hospital if the EMT's recommend.

It depends where you are charged as to whether you have the right to see the police report. If a municipal charge, then it is up to the judge whether he will permit you to see it. If it is a State court charge or county charge, you have the right to see it. No matter where you are you need to make a request in writing. Fines and costs and other consequences of DWI depend on many factors. You should hire an attorney as the consequences are significant no matter what the circumstances. Legal fees for DWI range from $500 to $10,000 depending on the circumstances and whether you have prior DWI or alcohol offenses. I would be suspect of any fee quoted in the low range, as you get what you pay for.
