You are DUI/ in North Dakota if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is .08% or higher. A first offender is someone with no DUI or related charge in the last seven years.
Penalties for Driving Under the Influence (first offense is a Class 1 misdemeanor)
Jail
First offense is rarely punishable by imprisonment. There is no mandatory minimum jail punishment, and you may not receive jail time unless your BAC was .15% or higher.
Fine
A fine of $250 to $1000, with a mandatory minimum of $250.
License Suspension
Your driving privileges will be revoked for not less than 91 days on a first offense with a BAC of between .08% and .17, and 180 days if your BAC was .18 or higher. Reinstatement Fee: $50
Work Permit
The court may issue an order permitting you to drive to your job or to attend a court-ordered counseling program. Work Permit is allowable only on 1st offense. Cost $50.
Assessment / Treatment
In North Dakota results of an alcohol assessment are provided to the judge/administrator presiding over your case and to the Drivers License & Traffic Safety Division. The offender is referred to treatment on the basis of the assessment by order of the court. There is no legally mandated treatment period for first offenders.
Test Refusal
If you refuse a breath, blood or urine test, you will lose your driver license for one year, if this is your first refusal. Refusal can be set aside only if you has never been convicted of a DUI. You can lose your license just for refusing to take the test even though you may not have been drinking at all.
Under 21
If you are under 21 and had at least .02% of alcohol in your blood while in control of a motor vehicle, you will lose their license for six months.
Refusing to submit to a chemical test can result in a one year revocation of your license.
Insurance
A conviction can significantly increase not only your own insurance rates, but possibly those of your family members, and perhaps even of your employer.
Even Greater Penalties
Even greater penalties are applicable if your DUI involved an accident, injury, or death.

Illinois Work Injury Lawyers – Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD.
Accidents in the workplace are often caused by unsafe work conditions arising from ignoring safety rules, overlooking maintenance or other negligence of those in management. While we are one of the largest firms in Illinois dedicated solely to the representation of injured workers, we pride ourselves on the personal, one-on-one approach we deliver to each client.
Work accidents can cause serious injuries and sometimes permanent damage. Some extremely serious work injuries can permanently hinder a person’s ability to get around and continue their daily duties. Factors that affect one’s quality of life such as place of work, relationships with friends and family, and social standing can all be taken away quickly by a work injury. Although, you may not be able to recover all of your losses, you may be entitled to compensation as a result of your work injury. Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD. provides informed advocacy in all kinds of workers’ compensation claims, including:
• Injuries to the back and neck, including severe spinal cord injuries
• Serious head injuries
• Heart problems resulting from workplace activities
• Injuries to the knees, elbows, shoulders and other joints
• Injuries caused by repetitive movements
For Illinois Workers’ Compensation claims, you will ALWAYS cheat yourself if you do not hire an experienced attorney. When you hire Krol, Bongiorno & Given, Ltd, you will have someone to guide you through the process, and when it is time to settle, we will add value to your case IN EXCESS of our fee. In the last few years, employers and insurance carriers have sought to advance the argument that when you settle a case without an attorney, your already low settlement should be further reduced by 20% so that you do not get a “windfall.” Representing yourself in Illinois is a lose-lose proposition.
