My younger brother (21) was out with a girl one night. They returned to his home (owned by my grandfather) and went out on an ATV. My brother drove and the girl was on the back. While in a field owned by my grandfather, the ATV rolled over. My brother called his friend who is a volunteer fireman who came over, stabilized them both and called an ambulance. The ambulance came and brought them both to the hospital. The girl remained in the hospital for several days with a concussion, fractured skull, and neck injury. My brother was treated for several lacerations and had his ear reattached by a plastic surgeon and went home for recovery. A breathalyzer showed his bac of .11 when asked by the DNR if he would consent to a blood test, my brother declined for his deadly fear of needles. He was then issued a fine (438.00 USD) from the Department of Natural Resources for declining the blood test and is set to appear in court in December. My brother is young and has no money. We are wondering it is worth challenging this fine due to the lack of being informed of the refusal of blood test consequences and what other penalties he may be facing. Any help or advice are greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
