Prepared by Poynter & Bucheri, LLC · Reviewed by Donald Poynter, Indiana attorney · Last reviewed November 9, 2026
This paper organizer helps people hurt by a suspected drunk driver in Indiana and their families sort records they already have. Copy the headings into a notebook, or print this page and fill it in by hand. It is optional, not a required legal form or a way to submit a claim.
This resource is for injured victims and their families, not DUI or OWI defense.

Finding official records
Indiana State Police links to electronic crash reports for a fee. MyCase is not an official court record and may contain errors. Official court records come from the court that keeps them.
Do I have to use every blank?
No. Use what helps you. Leave the rest blank. You can add more pages if you need space. Keep your notes in a safe place. Take a copy when you meet with a lawyer, if you choose. A list can help you ask clear questions, but it does not prove your claim.
Can I type into this page?
Use these headings on paper or in your own notebook. Don't send completed notes through our contact form; keep them on paper.
