When I say the options for a personal injury attorney are overwhelming, that is a complete understatement. After an accident—especially when your child is injured—choosing a lawyer is the last thing on your mind, but it is one of the most important decisions you will make.
I was given Katie Marshall’s information and reached out to several different attorneys. She was the first one who contacted me back. Every other person I called took three or four days just to get in touch with me, and by that point I had already made my decision.
I have never met anyone who fought for us as hard as Katie did. Katie, Hannah; and her entire staff took the time to carefully explain everything in a way I could understand. I’m the first to admit I’m not great with legal matters, but they never made me feel rushed or confused. They walked me through every step, explained why certain decisions were better, and always made sure I knew what was happening and why.
Katie and her team genuinely cared about my son and me. They helped us secure a settlement that gives my son a more comfortable start when he becomes an adult. I couldn’t have asked for a better legal team.

When I decided to seek an attorney, I attempted to contact about a dozen, and Christie Bell & Marshall, P.C. was one of them. They were the only ones who really asked the right questions and listened to my situation. When they called to say they would like to take my case, I was relieved and knew I was in the right place.
Throughout my case, I had the opportunity to work with several exceptional and professional people in the office, including Chad J. Bradford, Glenda Murphree and Shae Waxman. Each of them played an important part in helping me through the process. With consistent emails and a few phone calls along the way, the case was settled, and I couldn’t have been happier with the outcome.
I fully trusted everyone in this office, but Chad, Shae and Glenda brought it home! They were easy to talk to, kept me informed, and made the whole process feel a lot less intimidating
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who helped or touched my case in one way or another. It meant the world to me!

Christie Bell & Marshall was an amazing law office to work with! They worked with me and my schedule and made meetings smooth and seamless! The people who work there are friendly and genuinely care about you as a person! Not only that, but they are experts at what they do! If you have any doubts, in my experience these individuals fought hard and kept pushing for a better outcome without making it complicated for me! Knock on wood that it doesn’t happen, but if I ever have another case in which I need an attorney I will be using Christie Bell & Marshall again!

Have you ever met someone and just knew you were immediately going to click? That is what it felt like meeting Tina Bell for the first time. She is warm, kind, and extremely sharp. It is hard to find someone that you can just immediately be open and honest with and Tina is one of those people. She is truly an advocate for her clients and will use her wealth of knowledge to give you the best outcome she possibly can. As someone who works within the legal community, finding a lawyer is easy, but finding a lawyer that you can build a strong, effortless relationship with and one who will guide you through the legal process with sensitivity and compassion is rare. Tina is a rare find, and should you need a personal injury attorney in Indiana, she is the one to trust with your case.

Early this year, I was involved on a car accident. I was recommended to Christie Bell & Marshall, through a friend of mine. I have been very pleased with all the attention provided by Katie & Jill since day 1.
They have both worked very hard on my case and understood all my concerns.
If you have been involved on a car accident like me, I HIGHLY recommend Katherine Marshall (Katie)!! She is very kind and patient 🙂

Thank you very much for making the entire process so easy and smooth. AWESOME TEAM!!

I have known Tina for nearly twenty years of my professional career and had the good fortune of working with her on several cases. She is a tenacious, gritty, and brilliant medical malpractice attorney. Beyond her vast substantive knowledge, she is on the cutting edge of case and litigation strategy in one of the toughest areas of litigation. I love bouncing ideas around with her. Clients adore her and her trusty sidekick Dava. They are simply fantastic people and I look forward to the opportunity to work with them on cases in the future.

Why Choosing the Right Indiana Personal Injury Lawyer Makes All the Difference

When you’ve been hurt due to someone else’s negligence, the outcome of your personal injury claim often hinges on three key factors: the seriousness of your injuries, how insurance companies handle your claim, and the quality of the legal representation you receive. At Christie Bell & Marshall, we focus on each of these areas with precision and compassion to help you recover physically, emotionally, and financially.

Injuries

The nature and extent of your injuries directly impact your case’s value. Whether you’ve suffered broken bones, a brain injury, or long-term trauma, our team ensures that the full scope of your physical, emotional, and financial damages is thoroughly documented and clearly presented. We work closely with medical professionals to make sure nothing is overlooked—because your recovery deserves to be taken seriously.

Insurance

Insurance companies often prioritize minimizing payouts, not your best interests. That’s why we handle communications, negotiations, and denials for you—so you don’t have to navigate confusing policies or tactics alone. Our attorneys are skilled in pushing back against bad faith practices and securing fair compensation from insurers who may try to delay or deny your claim.

Legal Representation

The lawyer you choose matters. With decades of experience representing injured individuals across Indiana, our firm brings a powerful combination of legal knowledge, negotiation skill, and courtroom strength. We fight to protect your rights, level the playing field, and pursue the maximum compensation you’re entitled to—whether through settlement or trial.

Evidence Needed Photo

Evidence Needed in a Personal Injury Case

The first step to building any injury or accident case is gathering information. Photos of any visible injuries or trauma, along with medical records, are the beginning of this process. It’s important for the plaintiff and their loved ones to keep photos of the injury as the healing process occurs. They can document experiences in a journal or make video diaries.

It’s also essential to collect evidence of negligence from the scene. Any police report from the incident will reveal the details documented by the first responders. In addition to these written accounts, it’s essential to have a representative visit the scene personally and take photos as soon as possible. This is especially true in cases like Indiana trucking accident injuries. Cleanup crews may remove evidence within mere hours after an incident. Eyewitness statements and video footage from security cameras can be other valuable sources of proof when building an injury case, especially a car accident case.

Personal Injury FAQ

What is the statute of limitations for bodily injury in Indiana?

The Indiana Code section 34-11-2-4 sets the statute of limitations for personal injury cases at two years, meaning that a victim must file their personal injury lawsuit within two years of the accident or they risk having their case dismissed without being heard.

 

How do I file a personal injury lawsuit in Indiana?

Here are the common steps in order to file an injury case:

  1. Ensure that you have a legitimate injury and grounds to file a lawsuit.
  2. Contact an Indiana personal injury lawyer at our firm to help with your case.
  3. Discuss your situation with our team.
  4. We will file and deliver your complaint and make sure the other party or insurance company receives it.
  5. Our goal is to get you maximum compensation from a verdict or settlement – and you only pay us if we win your case. No fee unless we win.
How is my personal injury case similar to previous ones you’ve handled?

Asking an attorney about your claim is a great way to understand their approach and experience. It shows whether the Indiana personal injury lawyer grasps the unique details of your case, ensuring it isn’t treated like “just another file.” A strong attorney provides both legal skill and personal reassurance, making you feel valued. Also, inquire about their past cases. For instance, if you need an Indianapolis truck accident lawyer, ask about similar verdicts and settlements. If it’s a car accident lawyer you need, see if they’ve handled comparable cases. Such experience demonstrates an ability to establish negligence and secure fair compensation.

What is the maximum accident injury compensation in Indiana?

In Indiana, accident injury claims against government entities are capped at $700,000 per person and $5 million per accident. For other personal injury claims, there is generally no cap on compensatory damages, but punitive damages are limited to $50,000 or three times the compensatory damages, whichever is greater

How is pain and suffering calculated in Indiana?
In Indiana, pain and suffering damages are typically calculated by applying a multiplier to the total economic damages (such as medical expenses and lost wages). This multiplier often ranges from 1.5 to 5, depending on the severity of the injury and its impact on the person’s life. The final amount for pain and suffering is then added to the economic damages to determine the overall compensation.

What Is Personal Injury?

A personal injury case occurs when an individual is injured or killed in an accident and another party may be at fault. When someone is found to be legally responsible for another person’s injury, that’s usually because the person being sued was negligent. The role of a personal injury attorney is to prove this negligence led to the accident that caused the victim physical and/or mental harm. Unlike criminal acts like robbery or murder that lead to jail time, personal injury attorneys prove the damages their clients suffered and get them compensation to pay medical bills and meet other needs.

Only around 4% of personal injury cases end up going to trial—the other 96% are settled in what is called “pretrial,” when legal teams agree about the damages and compensation without a jury or judge making a ruling. Personal injury law firms like us work hard to build cases that represent a client’s best interests and the truth to earn fair and rightful compensation for our clients before or during a trial.

The state of Indiana allows two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. It’s important to speak with a personal injury lawyer in Indiana within that time span to discuss your case and evaluate options. We’re here to help our Indiana residents, including the cities of Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville, Bloomington, Terre Haute, Gary, Lafayette, South Bend, Muncie, Kokomo, Richmond, Crown Point, and other surrounding cities.
