We Make The Path To Compensation Simple For You
To get started, just contact us for a free consultation to discuss your accident or injury. There is no risk or obligation to speak with a member of our legal team.
If you decide to work with our firm, we will investigate the accident and gather evidence. Then we craft a compelling case for the damages you are entitled to.
We will negotiate with the insurance companies for the compensation you need for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. We typically get a favorable settlement out of court, but are prepared to go to trial if that is in your best interests.
The Personal Injury Cases We Handle
We can help injury victims throughout the Chicagoland area with many types of injury claims, such as:
Car And Truck Accidents
While car accidents are common, the injuries people sustain pose unique challenges. Additionally, working with insurance adjusters and navigating the claims liability process can be overwhelming. We help you with the complexities of pursuing a car accident claim while protecting your rights.
For motorists, colliding with a large truck can leave them with serious, long-term injuries. Our attorneys can handle the intricacies of trucking accident cases, from looking into the causes to negotiating with trucking companies and your insurance provider.
Motorcycle Accidents
Even with the proper protective gear, motorcyclists are still more vulnerable to serious injuries than someone driving a car or semi truck. We understand the unique challenges and sometimes stigma motorcyclists face and are committed to advocating for the compensation they deserve.
Construction Accidents And Other Workplace Accidents
Constructions sites are dangerous workplaces that can cause serious accidents and injuries. We help victims and their families pursue compensation for injuries sustained due to unsafe working conditions or negligence.
Workers in any occupation who suffer injuries can seek compensation through their employer. However, employers and their insurance providers may deny your claim. No matter what stage of the workers’ compensation process you are in, we can help you submit and appeal your request for benefits.
Slip And Falls
Slip-and-fall accidents can occur anywhere, from grocery stores to shopping malls to sidewalks. Slip-and-fall injuries can be difficult to prove, but with our 30-plus years of experience, we know what it takes to gather evidence and develop a compelling case.
Nursing Home Neglect
Nursing home abuse and neglect can take many forms, including:
- Physical abuse
- Verbal/emotional abuse
- Financial abuse
- Bedsores
- Malnutrition/dehydration
If you believe your loved one is suffering from abuse or neglect in their care facility, we can investigate the issue and pursue damages and justice for your loved one.
Medical Malpractice
If medical negligence from a doctor, nurse or other health care professional leads to serious injury or death, we are here to help. Whether it was due to a medication error, misdiagnosis, surgical error or complications during birth, we are well-versed in gathering evidence and seeking second opinions to build a strong malpractice claim. With our help, you can pursue the justice and accountability you deserve.
Catastrophic Injuries And Wrongful Death
Catastrophic injuries can have life-altering consequences, often leading to long-term or permanent disability. Whether it’s a traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage or severe burns, treatment for these injuries can require significant medical care. They can also severely limit your ability to work.
The emotional and financial toll of a loved one’s death can feel insurmountable. We can help you pursue a wrongful death claim so that you can manage the loss of income and emotional distress it causes you.
