While your refusal to take a breathalyzer test cannot be used against you in criminal court, it does carry administrative penalties. If you refuse a breathalyzer test, you have ten days to request an Administrative License Suspension (ALS) Hearing Request with the Department of Driver Services. If you fail to take this step (and pay the required fees) within ten days of your accident, your license will be suspended on the 31st day following your arrest. You also lose the chance to appeal or fight the suspension.
