Ontario | Help for DUI, hospital incidents, wrongful impairment charges
More people are finding themselves in terrifying situations after a night out — waking up in a hospital bed, handcuffed, or facing charges that make no sense. If this happened to you, it’s important to remember one thing: you are not alone, and you are not powerless.
Even if alcohol was in your system, a small dose of a drug like GHB or benzodiazepine can make you appear heavily impaired or unconscious within minutes.
Sometimes, these situations are misunderstood as “impaired driving” or “refusal.” If you woke up to learn you were charged while unconscious or medicated, there may still be options. You have a right to know what evidence was used, and to challenge how it was obtained.
The hours after a spiking incident are critical — that’s when evidence fades and misunderstandings set in. Getting help quickly can protect your record, your licence, and your credibility before things spiral further.
If this story sounds like yours, don’t try to piece it together alone. We can review what happened and tell you what to do next before you speak to police, the Crown, or your insurer.
