Legal Question in Personal Injury in Indiana

I need an afidavit from a colleage stating that my skills, work performance and personality have changed after a traumatic brain injury. Do I need a specific form or can this be customized by my working colleage and then notorized (if neccessary) after completion?

Thank you for assistance.

Your best bet is to ask your injury attorney as he or she may have a preference. If this is not related to litigation, please repost and state for what kind of organization this document is for as that may determine what kind of document to use.

phillip,

it depends on the context. if it is a case is in litigation, there is a specific form for an affidavit to be valid - your lawyer would have that. if not, he/she or you are free to call here and ask for one of the paralegals (theresa probably is best) to email or fax a sample. however an affidavit generally is not admissable at a trial. if your situation relates to some sort of administrative proceeding, it depends on whether its requirement is for an "affidavit." an affidavit is a term that has legal meaning. if your situation involves some sort of informal submission and there isn't a rule requiring an "affidavit," then a simple letter/report by your collegue ought to be sufficient. the notorization simply establishes that he/she signed it on a certain date. hope this helps.
