Who Has a Right to Access Hospital Records?
Access to hospital records can be allowed when there is a legal inquiry into the results of a blood alcohol test by: • The police law enforcement officials can access your hospital records if they get a warrant from a judge. A judge will issue a warrant if the police show that there is reasonable cause to believe you violated drunk driving / DUI / DWI laws. Reasonable cause will be based on police officers observations at the time of your arrest. • The victims if you are alleged to have injured other persons because of your drunk driving / DUI / DWI, they may file a civil suit against you. In a civil suit, the victims can subpoena your hospital records to try and prove that you caused their injuries.
