Indianapolis Personal Injury Lawyers

Skilled Trial Attorneys for Serious Injuries and Wrongful Death in Indiana

If you or someone you love has been seriously injured in Indianapolis, you need more than just an attorney— you need a team of trial-tested litigators who know how to win. At Whitfield Crosby & Flynn, we represent injury victims and their families in high-stakes personal injury and wrongful death cases. When negligent parties refuse to take responsibility, we hold them accountable in the courtroom.

We’re not a volume firm. We don’t churn out quick settlements or push clients into early resolutions that leave money on the table. Our Indianapolis personal injury lawyers take on cases that demand deep investigation, strong strategy, and the willingness to go to trial — and we prepare every single case like it’s going to be decided by a jury. We’ll settle your case for the right amount, or we’ll go to court.

How Personal Injury Claims Work in Indiana

Under Indiana law, when someone is injured due to another party’s negligence, they are entitled to seek compensation through a civil lawsuit. The law recognizes several key categories of damages, including:

Medical expenses, both past and future
Lost income and loss of earning capacity
Pain and suffering, including emotional distress and diminished quality of life
Permanent impairment or disfigurement
Wrongful death damages, including funeral costs and loss of companionship or support

The party bringing the claim must prove four essential elements: duty, breach, causation, and damages. That may sound straightforward — but defendants and their insurers fight tooth and nail at every step, often claiming the victim was at fault or that their injuries aren’t as serious as they claim.

That’s why we take an aggressive, evidence-driven approach to every case. We consult with top medical experts, accident reconstructionists, and economists. We dig into the details and prepare ironclad presentations for trial. And we push the opposition to the edge, knowing they’re more likely to offer fair settlements when they know we’re ready for a jury.

Comparative Fault in Indiana Injury Cases

Indiana follows a modified comparative fault rule with a 51% bar. This means you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault for your injury — as long as you were less than 51% responsible. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

For example, if a jury awards you $500,000 but finds you 20% at fault, your award will be reduced to $400,000. If you’re found 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing.

Insurance companies often try to use this rule against injury victims by exaggerating their role in the accident hoping to lessen what they owe or get out of paying anything at all. We fight back with hard evidence, expert testimony, and clear legal arguments to keep fault where it belongs — with the negligent party.
