A Noblesville drunk driving accident claim differs from a standard collision case. The OWI arrest record, blood alcohol test results, field sobriety test performance, and prior OWI convictions are all discoverable in your civil case. Indiana's dram shop liability statute under IC 7.1-5-10-15.5 may also support a claim against a Noblesville bar that overserved the driver.

Where Noblesville Drunk Driving Accidents Cases Are Filed

JR and Jill are long-time Noblesville residents who are in and out of this courthouse regularly.
Indiana law under IC 34-11-2-4 gives injured Noblesville residents two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Hamilton County jury pools tend to be more conservative on damages compared to Marion County -- a factor Jill accounts for in every case strategy.
