Financial Compensation For Victims of Drunk Drivers in Indiana

Hit by drunk driver lawyer, Jeff Gibson, represents victims of drunk drivers and helps them receive the financial compensation they deserve. Here is some insight on the legal options available to those injured in Indiana drunk driving crashes:

When you or someone you love is injured or killed by a drunk driver, it is important to understand all of your legal rights. You can directly sue the drunk driver who injured in a personal injury lawsuit, but this may not be the only legal option. In many states, including Indiana, dram shop laws exist which allow alcohol vendors to be held liable for serving a drunk driver prior to a crash – depending on the circumstances.

Indiana dram shop law states that an alcohol vendor can be sued if:

• the vendor served alcohol to someone who was visibly intoxicated at the time, and
• the intoxication was a foreseeable cause of injuries suffered.
