Examples of DMV hearing results.*
1. Revocation for Loss of Consciousness
Our client was in a serious bicycle accident. He was airlifted to the Scripps Trauma Unit. Emergency room physicians could not discern a cause for the accident but suspected a loss of consciousness. An ER doctor sent a revocation notice to DMV.
We consulted specialists. The client underwent a specialized diagnostic testing procedure. He was subsequently cleared to resume driving by two specialized physicians. Drivers license reinstated. (In re matter of S.F.)
2. Revocation Due To Older Age
The DMV wanted to revoke a driver’s license because he was “too old” to continue driving.
We prepared for the hearing, consulted with and hired a medical expert to provide additional information on behalf of the client to prove that he was qualified to continue to drive. We succeeded in proving to DMV that our client was absolutely fine to continue driving. The DMV reinstated the drivers license. (In re matter of L.H.)
3. Revocation Due To Falling Asleep At The Wheel
Our client received a notice in the mail that her license was revoked because of an incident where she fell asleep behind the wheel and the investigating officer issued her a summary revocation on the spot. We promptly scheduled a hearing with DMV.
We investigated the case, examined the accident report, and enlisted the aid of the client’s primary care physician, physician’s assistant, and nurses for a medical evaluation and written opinion regarding the current health of our client. At the reexamination hearing, we disputed the existence of a medical condition, presented medical evaluations in support of her good health, and testimony from the driver.
The DMV hearing officer set aside the order of revocation. (In re matter of C.H.)
4. Revocation Due To An Unexpected Doctor Notification
The client received a notice of revocation from DMV but did not understand the reason. We investigated the case and learned that the clients physician had sent a notification that she was allegedly suffering from a neuropathic medical condition. We took the appropriate steps to address the medical issue.
The DMV, following an extensive administrative hearing, returned her drivers license. (In re matter of J.L.)
5. Revocation Due To A Diabetic Loss of Consciousness
The client had an automobile accident due to a loss of consciousness. The client believed that the accident was caused by low blood sugar.
At the reexamination hearing, we introduced evidence that the client’s diabetic condition had been diagnosed by the aid of a device implanted in his skin and by two physicians with different specialties.
We further produced evidence by way of a demonstrative exhibit that depicted a separate medical device also implanted in his skin to monitor the client’s blood sugar level, and related prescriptions, to ensure that his diabetic condition remained stable at all times.
The client testified in support of his request to have his drivers license reinstated. The DMV hearing officer granted the request subject to quarterly medical updates. (In re matter of D.B.)
6. Revocation Due To An Unknown Medical Condition Resulting In An Accident
Our client was driving home late in the night and suddenly lost control of her vehicle. She hit a parked vehicle causing substantial damage. She abandoned her car and got a ride home. The police found her car and traced it to our client who informed the officer of what happened. He issued a revocation notice.
The client believed she suffered a panic attack due to extenuating circumstances, so we sent her to seek appropriate treatment from various health care providers. They cleared her to drive, she testified well at the reexamination hearing, and was informed that, upon a successful driving test, she could resume driving. We requested an expedited driving test. She passed the driving test and was allowed to resume driving (In re matter of J.S.)
7. Revocation For Alleged Negligence Caused By A Medical Condition
Our client, like many others, had an accident while driving. Accidents are common on the highways. However, the investigating officer, after viewing the scene and interviewing the client, determined that she was unable to safely operate a vehicle. He issued a summary revocation notice.
The client was subsequently evaluated by various doctors and cleared to drive. She testified about the facts of the accident to prove that, due to extenuating circumstances at the scene, and not due to any medical condition, the accident occurred. Her long driving record without any accidents or moving violations helped us make her case. DMV returned her driver’s license (In re matter of P.B.)
8. Revocation Due To Alleged Dementia
The driver was reported to DMV for an alleged medical condition contributing to her mental status and ability to operate a vehicle safely. We interviewed her and subsequently guided her to receive medical evaluations from different health care providers.
Through use of the medical reports and testimony at the DMV hearing, her driver’s license was reinstated subject to passing a short written exam and vision test (In re matter of I.P.).
9. Revocation For Single Lapse of Consciousness
The driver went to the emergency room following a lapse of consciousness caused by undue pressure applied to her neck during therapy. We formulated a strategy to consult with various health care providers and provide the appropriate documentation in excellent form to the DMV. License reinstated (In re matter of L.S.)
10. Revocation For Unknown Medical Condition
The driver was involved in an accident but did not know what caused the accident. Subsequent investigation and medical evaluations revealed the cause to be related to blood sugar. We presented written and demonstrative evidence to the DMV in support of the driver’s license being reinstated. Request granted (In re matter of M.B.)
11. Revocation for Neurological Condition
The driver received a revocation notice due to a neurological condition. We presented medical evaluations from two physicians and testimony at the hearing. Driver’s license reinstated upon successful driving test (In re matter of J.H).
