Was there a blood test taken by the officer or just by the hospital for your treatment? I will presume the officer had blood drawn for his purposes as well. If the accident did not result in any injuries to anyone else (other than you), then I do expect the charge of DUI will be added to your charges if it has not been already (there is just a small check box on most tickets that says a person is charged with DUI and people can miss that when looking at the ticket). If someone else was injured in the accident then there is a potential that much more serious (potentially felony) charges could be filed. You should definitely at least consult with a lawyer even if you decide not to ultimately hire one. A one hour paid consultation can provide you a lot of very useful information.
