Common BMV Mistakes that Could Affect You
The Indiana BMV is responsible for managing thousands of records and decisions every day. While their systems are thorough, mistakes happen. Unfortunately, these errors often leave drivers paying the price.
Here are some mistakes that I deal with:
- Clerical Errors - A simple typo or incorrect data entry can lead to wrongful license suspensions or incorrect points being added to your record.
- Misinterpretation of traffic laws - Not every case is cut and dry. Misapplication of traffic laws can unfairly penalize drivers, especially in highly nuanced situations.
- Failure to update records - Sometimes, driving record updates are not processed correctly, which can lead to missed reinstatements or erroneous penalties.
- Unclear communication - The BMV is not always transparent about why decisions were made. Without clear insight, fighting back can feel impossible.

Material Error Review Requests
Are you concerned about an error in your record with the BMV, such as an incorrect number of points or a charge that should have been removed? You may formally request that the bureau review it. This is known as a Material Error Review Request. For guidance during or after the review process (especially if you believe you received an unfair decision), turn to my firm.
How an Attorney Can Help with BMV Issues
Appealing an order or decision from the BMV—let alone even knowing whether you can make an appeal—can be difficult. Our state’s regulations are complex, and navigating legal traffic matters can be overwhelming without legal training and know-how. Fortunately, you do not have to handle any of these things alone. I am an Indianapolis BMV appeal attorney who can handle an appeal from start to finish.
On your behalf, I may be able to do the following:
- Carefully review your situation. I can determine whether the BMV has made a mistake and what you must do to pursue an appeal.
- Streamline the process. I know the steps to take during an appeal and can make certain that yours gets done on time and adheres to stringent guidelines.
- Request and review all the evidence. You may not know what you need in your case, but I do. Let me ensure that all your information is available to give your case the best chance of success.
- Negotiate on your behalf. As a traffic lawyer who has handled many BMV cases, I have established relationships with those working for the other side. These contacts can be useful when negotiating for a settlement or gaining access to helpful resources.
- Represent you in court. If your case is one that a judge decides, I am willing and able to take it there. I never shy away from fighting for my clients’ rights and best interests.
