An injury can be devastating to you and your family. Over the years, I have learned that people who have been injured have lots of questions and just want an honest assessment of their situation and their options. I believe that lawyers should be approachable and easy to talk to. It should not be difficult to get advice about a situation that might be new or unfamiliar to you and to have your rights explained to you. Insurance companies may not always be straightforward with you and your claim. I believe in an honest and open evaluation of your claim. Your case is likely to have positives and negatives and you deserve to understand how those impact your claim. Give me a call so we can discuss your case, go over your options, and allow you to decide if you wish to pursue legal options and if you would like my help in doing so. I have spent my entire legal career representing individuals who have been injured or killed as a result of the carelessness of others. I handle cases involving wrongful death and personal injury arising out of automobile crashes, premises liability, slips and falls, dog attacks, and civil rights violations. I have handled hundreds of personal injury cases throughout Indiana. With over 19 years of experience handling various types of personal injury cases, I have vast trial experience throughout the state.  I am honored to have been named a Super Lawyers Rising Star for 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. I remain active in the Indiana Trial Lawyers Association.  I formerly served as a Chair of the Young Lawyers Section and currently serve on the Board of Directors.  I was co-editor of the Indiana Appellate Case Reporter, a publication offered to ITLA members, for many years. The Indiana Appellate Case Reporter is a monthly publication highlighting new appellate court decisions from the Indiana Court of Appeals and Indiana Supreme Court which impact personal injury claims. I am also a former board member of Young Professionals of Central Indiana, volunteer as a judge in the Reach for Youth Teen Court Program, and have volunteered with Play Ball Indiana. I grew up north east of Indianapolis, attending Hamilton Southeastern High School in Fishers. I completed my undergraduate degree at Indiana University in Bloomington and graduated from Indiana University School of Law - Indianapolis. I live in Fishers with my wife, Kelly, a preschool teacher, and our daughters, Claire and Carlie. I am an avid sports fan of Indiana basketball and Los Angeles Dodgers baseball. I also enjoy exercising, traveling, and trying new restaurants.

Bruce began his professional career as a registered physical therapist. This experience helped form a unique perspective on how law relates to the practice of medicine and the lives of seriously injured people. While medical legal issues have been one focus of Bruce’s practice, he is equally familiar with negligence law and product liability. As Bruce owns and operates the firm’s private aircraft, he is particularly knowledgeable in aviation law. His tenacity in pursuing fair and equitable compensation for clients is evident in a variety of complex cases, including birth injuries, brain and spinal cord injuries, defective products, and airplane and helicopter crashes. Personally, Bruce has been a pilot for more than 25 years. He has flown a Piper Saratoga, Piper Seneca II and more recently a Cirrus SR22. Bruce’s piloting experience has been an invaluable resource for the firm’s airplane accident litigation practice helping clients who have suffered tremendous loss in both private and corporate aircraft related accidents. Over the last 25 years, Bruce has been able to combine his nationally recognized trial skills with his experience owning and operating private aircraft. Bruce has been honored with the 2001 Indiana Trial Lawyer of the Year award and induction into the prestigious American College of Trial Lawyers. He also served as the president of the Indiana Trial Lawyers Association through 2009. Bruce is currently a board member of the Whitewater Valley Pro Bono Commission. Both Bruce and his partner, Bill Winingham, have served as President of the Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana Foundation and engaged in providing funding for brain injury research particularly focused on concussive injuries confronting our troops returning from Afghanistan and Iraq. In Bruce’s free time, he enjoys spending time with his family, boating, flying, and biking. Bruce also volunteers for Gleaner’s Food Bank and can oftentimes be heard on WFYI’s Public Radio Challenge grants throughout the year.

Mr. Kooi believes in one-on-one interaction with clients. “They need to know what we’re doing and why we’re doing it at all times,” Kooi says. “This is ultimately about their life and it is their right to be involved in the process from start to finish. It’s their case, and that is a fact we never forget.” “Our firm educates clients about the specific details and nuances of each case, including potential outcomes. We make sure their condition is properly assessed and treated, and we work with each client to evaluate the total ramifications of their loss, both financially and emotionally,” Kooi says. “No one can return to you what you’ve lost,” Kooi says. “But we believe you can move forward with the help of strong advice, aggressive representation and compassion. With these core values in mind, our law firm will give you and your loved ones peace of mind in knowing that you are taken care of.”
