A DUI/DWI Victim Impact Panel is a small group of 2-4 persons who speak briefly about a vehicle crash caused by an impaired or intoxicated driver in which they were injured or in which a friend or family member was injured or killed. Persons who have been charged with DUI/DWI criminal offenses are often required to attend a Victim Impact Panel to better understand and remember the devastating consequences of driving while impaired or intoxicated.

Victims who speak at Victim Impact Panels do not blame or judge the people listening and only seek to share their own tragic stories in a way that may help others understand the lasting effects of impaired driving—while giving the speakers the opportunity to heal and find some small amount of meaning in their tragedies.

Victim Impact Panels are available both live and online and are sponsored by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD).

In Indiana, DUI/DWI Victim Impact Panels are part of the educational and rehabilitative measures used to address the issue of impaired driving. These panels are typically organized by groups such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and serve as a court-ordered requirement for individuals convicted of DUI/DWI offenses. The purpose of these panels is to provide offenders with firsthand accounts of the consequences of impaired driving, aiming to prevent future incidents by fostering a deeper understanding of the impact their actions can have on others. The speakers at these panels share their personal experiences without casting judgment, focusing on the emotional and physical aftermath of accidents caused by impaired driving. Participation in a Victim Impact Panel may be mandated by the court as part of a sentence or as a condition of probation. Both live and online options for attending these panels are available to accommodate various individuals' needs.
