A serious car accident can change a person’s life in seconds. Beyond physical injuries, victims may face medical bills, missed work, vehicle damage, and uncertainty about what to do next. For Indiana residents dealing with these challenges, having an attorney who understands both the legal process and the practical details behind an accident can make a difference. Collin Green, attorney at Team Green Law, brings a combination of legal training, construction experience, and years of handling injury claims to his work with injured individuals and families.
Based in Indiana, Green represents people dealing with a range of injury matters, including car crashes, truck collisions, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian injuries, and wrongful death claims. His approach focuses on helping clients understand their options while working to protect their interests throughout the legal process.
A Career Built on Practical Experience
Green’s path to practicing law included two careers outside the legal field. He graduated from Ball State University in 2006 with a degree in Landscape Architecture. He initially worked with a design firm in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he helped develop land designs for different clients using technical design software.
After the construction industry slowed, Green pursued another career direction. He earned a Master of Science in Technology with a concentration in Construction Management from Purdue University. He then worked as a project engineer for a major electrical contractor, gaining experience at active construction sites across Indiana.
His responsibilities included reviewing construction plans, interpreting contracts, coordinating materials, managing project workflows, and overseeing safety compliance. These experiences gave him a practical understanding of how construction projects operate and where problems can arise.
That background remains relevant to his legal practice, particularly when an injury involves unsafe property conditions or construction-related hazards. Understanding how a job site functions can help an attorney ask more informed questions and assess the circumstances surrounding an accident.

From Construction Management to Personal Injury Law
Green eventually decided to pursue law while building a life in Indiana with his wife, Marie. He enrolled at Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law and earned his Juris Doctor in 2015.
He then spent more than five years practicing alongside his father, R.T. Green, at Blackburn & Green in Fort Wayne. During that time, he worked on complex injury and wrongful death cases involving tractor-trailer collisions, car crashes, and fall-related injuries.
The experience helped him develop skills in case preparation, evaluating claims, and communicating with clients. Green and his father later co-founded Team Green Law, continuing their work representing injured people and families.
Today, the firm serves clients from offices in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and Terre Haute.
Helping Indiana Car Accident Victims Understand Their Options
Car accidents often leave victims trying to manage several problems at once. Medical treatment may continue for months, injuries can affect a person’s ability to work, and insurance companies may request statements or other information before the full extent of the damage is clear.
Green handles car accident claims as part of his personal injury practice. His work includes examining the circumstances of a collision, assessing the available evidence, and helping clients understand the factors that may affect a claim.
These cases can involve questions about fault, medical expenses, lost income, and the long-term effects of an injury. Evidence such as police reports, photographs, witness statements, medical records, and vehicle damage assessments may help establish what happened.
Green’s approach emphasizes discussing a case’s potential value early, based on the information available. As medical treatment progresses and additional evidence emerges, that assessment may change. This helps clients make decisions with a clearer understanding of the process rather than relying on assumptions about what an insurance settlement might provide.
Experience Across Different Types of Injury Cases
Although car accidents are an important part of his practice, Green also handles other serious injury matters. His work includes truck and tractor-trailer collisions, motorcycle crashes, bicycle and pedestrian accidents, construction litigation, and wrongful death claims.
Each type of case can present different challenges. Commercial truck collisions may require a close review of driver conduct, company practices, and available records. Motorcycle accidents can involve serious injuries and disagreements over responsibility. Construction-related claims may require an examination of site conditions, safety procedures, and the actions of multiple parties.
Green’s combination of construction management experience and legal training gives him a practical foundation for examining these issues. The facts of each case still determine the available legal options, but understanding the setting in which an injury occurred can help guide the investigation.
A Focus on Clear Communication and Fair Fees
For many injured people, the legal process can feel unfamiliar and difficult to navigate. Green emphasizes clear communication so clients understand what may happen next and what decisions they may need to make.
At Team Green Law, the firm aims to maintain regular contact with clients, with team members expected to check in at least monthly. Clients also receive preparation materials before important stages such as depositions and mediations, helping them understand what to expect.
Green also helped make the firm’s Fair Fee Guarantee a visible part of its client-focused approach. Under the firm’s stated policy, contingency fees remain below 40% for accepted cases, and the firm adjusts its percentage if necessary to ensure the client receives more than the firm’s fee from a recovery. This fee policy is separate from the outcome of any individual claim, which depends on its specific facts and circumstances.
Community Involvement Beyond the Courtroom
Green’s work also extends into community initiatives across Indiana. He coordinates Team Green Law’s involvement with organizations that support veterans, including Clothes for Joes and HVAF of Indiana. These partnerships include volunteering, providing resources, and supporting efforts to assist veterans experiencing homelessness or other hardships.
He also coordinates youth sports sponsorships and ticket giveaways intended to help families participate in local sporting events. Basketball has been a longstanding part of the Green family tradition, and Green carries that interest into his approach to teamwork and leadership.
