What can happen if I was in a minor accident and it was not my fault?

More details to this question:
I didn't get any ticket for careless or reckless driving. However, it was 7:30 am and one officer claimed he smelled alcohol on me. My 6-year old twins were in the car with me, as I was taking them to school. I refused the roadside breathalyzer and was taken to detox, where my blood was taken, and then I was given a breathalyzer and blew 0.00 all 3 times it was given. I have a child abuse and DUI pending ticket. I did have 2 glasses of wine the night before, stopped drinking around 9:00pm, blood was taken at approx. 8:30 the following morning. I am fairly small, 5'1" and about 110 lbs. I am beyond worried that the blood test will come back higher.

Based on what you have described, I expect the blood test to be at or near zero. I expect the charges to be dropped. But, they will remain on your criminal record. Sealing these from public view should be attempted. It usually takes 3-8 weeks for the blood test to be completed.
