Navigating a DUI charge in Indiana can be daunting, especially if you were involved in an accident that wasn’t your fault. Indiana DUI laws are governed by two statutes: one based on proving intoxication without test results and another relying on blood or breath tests. Key elements of a DUI charge include operating a vehicle while intoxicated or exceeding the legal BAC limits, regardless of fault in an accident.
Defenses, such as challenging the legality of the traffic stop or invoking necessity, require careful legal evaluation. Misconceptions about fault and DUI charges often lead to confusion, as Indiana law focuses solely on intoxication and vehicle operation. If charged, it’s vital to consult an experienced DUI attorney, remain silent, and understand your rights to build a strong defense.
