Indianapolis Accident Injury Lawyers
Over 34 Years of Personal Injury Experience
When you or a loved one has been injured in an accident, it can be tough to put a dollar amount on the physical and emotional pain. At the Indianapolis area law firm of Brooks Koch & Sorg, we know a difficult truth: most injured people would prefer having their old lives back as opposed to receiving money for their injuries but, unfortunately, they are forced to rely on monetary compensation to make things right. Knowing this, our client-centered approach focuses on being supportive advocates, to be there when you need us, and to take strong legal action to get you the best results possible.

Indianapolis Personal Injury Attorney: Helping Victims Since 1990
Attorney Michael Koch has more than three decades of experience in personal injury law, helping hundreds of injured people since 1990. He has obtained six and seven-figure recoveries for several clients. Working diligently before and throughout litigation, Mike uses his legal knowledge and experience to negotiate the most favorable settlement or jury verdict and get you the compensation you depend on and deserve.
At Brooks Koch & Sorg, we handle a broad range of accident and injury cases:
- Automobile accidents : We help people who have been injured in car crashes, truck collisions, and motorcycle accidents. We also represent many people who have been struck by motorized vehicles in pedestrian accidents.
- Premises liability claims: When you have been injured on someone else's property, we can help; we handle matters like slip-and-fall claims and other accidents that happen because of the negligence of property or business others who fail to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition.
- Burn injuries: A burn can change your entire life. Burn injuries are perhaps the most painful and serious injuries to treat. These injuries include burns caused by fire, chemicals and medications (such as IV infiltrations and extravasations). Most burn injuries result in some degree of permanent disfigurement.
- Injuries to children: Every day in America, children are injured through no fault of their own at day care, on the playground, in neighborhoods, on school buses, and in school. Legal action may be possible.
- Workers' compensation: At Brooks Koch & Sorg, we help people who have been injured at work. Oftentimes a work-related injury may have been caused by a third-party unrelated to the injured person's employer. In these cases, we work to obtain recoveries from third-parties that likley exceed the limitations imposed by the Indiana Workers' Compensation Act.
- Dog bites: Serious dog bites can leave scars, require medical treatment, and have life-changing effects for victims.
- Medical malpractice : We help people who have been injured by a health care provider's negligence, taking cases including birth injuries, birth brain injury due to hypoxia during labor and delivery, failure to diagnose and treat medical conditions, unnecessary surgeries, wrong site surgeries, negligent surgeries, unconsented surgeries, retained surgical devices / materials, medication overdoses, dispensation of the wrong medication, mistakes interpreting x-rays, failure to diagnose and treat infection, other surgical errors, and IV infiltrations/extravasations. Unfortunately, medical negligence claims often result in permanent residual harm and, sometimes, even death. We can help.
- Negligent infliction of emotional distress claims: Under certain circumstances, Indiana law provides permits remedial compensation for the negligent infliction of emotional distress. Talk to Mike and learn if your situation qualifies for compensation under Indiana law.
- Construction site accidents : On the construction site, injuries occur every day, like falls from scaffolding and OSHA violations that lead to injury. Third-parties are often responsible and liable for harms outside the Indiana Workers' Compensation Act. Terry and Mike have a unique combination of backgrounds and experience to help with construction site accident claims.
- Wrongful Death claims: Sometimes victims in motor vehicle / motorcycle crashes and medical malpractice events die as a result of their related injuries. Mike Koch is experienced in handling these wrongful death claims. In Indiana, wrongful death damages can include recovery of related medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, loss of future earnings, and the loss of love, care and affection of the deceased victim. These matters generally require the opening of a wrongful death estate for the purpose of collecting damges in order to pursue a claim. Let Mike explain the application and potential limitations of Indiana law to your potential wrongful death claim.
