DUI

True or False? You can be convicted for a DUI in Illinois if your BAC registers at .05 during a breathalyzer test?

 

TRUE. If your BAC (blood alcohol content) registers at .05 AND there is additional evidence that your driving is impaired you can be convicted of a DUI (driving under the influence).

 

What happens if you are hit by a driver who has no automobile insurance or the minimum policy limits? In Illinois, when you buy car insurance, you also pay for uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. You can make a claim against your own car insurance using your uninsured/underinsured coverage for personal injuries. This makes you an opponent to your own insurance company since an insurance company usually wants to pay out as little as possible on a claim. It’s important you obtain a lawyer to represent you.
