Bryan L. Bradley

Bryan L. Bradley is a nationally respected trial attorney and senior partner at ALLEN LAW GROUP, LLC, where he devotes his practice exclusively to representing individuals and families harmed by catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death—primarily in complex commercial truck and bus crash litigation. He has spent his entire career fighting for the injured and has never represented insurance companies or corporations in defense.

With extensive trial experience in both state and federal courts, Bryan has secured numerous seven- and eight-figure settlements and verdicts in Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Wyoming, and North Carolina. His cases routinely involve wrongful death, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, disc injuries, and other life-altering harm resulting from negligent trucking operations.

Industry Insight, Real-World Experience

Bryan’s success lies in his ability to untangle complex factual scenarios, identify all responsible parties, and bring clarity to multi-layered liability disputes involving motor carriers, brokers, shippers, and third-party logistics providers. He brings deep fluency in electronic logging devices, event data recorders, fleet management systems, and transportation and broker agreements, allowing him to uncover key liability facts that many lawyers miss.

His understanding of trucking isn’t just technical—it’s personal. Raised in a multigenerational trucking family, Bryan spent his formative years surrounded by tractor-trailers. His father and grandfather were career truckers, giving him a working-class foundation and insider’s knowledge of the industry. He speaks the language of the road and knows how to hold negligent operators accountable.

One of his most notable cases was his leadership role in the Indiana State Fair stage collapse litigation, a mass casualty event that resulted in multiple deaths and severe injuries. Bryan helped secure justice for several victims and their families in one of the most significant civil cases in state history.

Client Focus: Advocacy with Compassion and Clarity

Bryan is known not only for his skill in the courtroom, but also for his compassion and personal commitment to his clients. He approaches each case with empathy and a deep understanding that behind every injury is a family in crisis. Clients often come to Bryan at the most difficult point in their lives. He takes the time to listen, explain, and guide with respect, clarity, and care.

To Bryan, legal advocacy is about more than obtaining results—it’s about restoring dignity, security, and justice. His clients value his responsiveness, accessibility, and unwavering loyalty. He treats each case with the urgency and thoroughness he would expect if his own loved ones were involved.
