Indiana takes driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs seriously, and an OVWI (Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated), OWI (Operating While Intoxicated), or DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) charge can lead to life-changing consequences.

Understanding Indiana’s OVWI/OWI/DWI Laws
In Indiana, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.08% for drivers over 21, 0.04% for commercial drivers, and 0.02% for drivers under 21. Exceeding these limits, or operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol, can result in charges. Penalties can include:

• License Suspension: Even a first offense can lead to a suspension of up to 180 days or more.
• Fines: Significant financial penalties, often reaching thousands of dollars.
• Jail Time: Sentences ranging from a few days to years for repeat offenders or serious cases.
• Increased Insurance Rates: A conviction can lead to steep hikes in your premiums.
