PRACTICE AREAS
WORKER’S COMPENSATION
People in nearly all industries and occupations are eligible for workers’ comp benefits. Workers’ compensation benefits include medical coverage for your injury and wage replacement benefits of two-thirds of your average weekly wages.
MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
Medical negligence can have devastating results. It can leave patients severely injured or permanently disabled. However, not every bad result is an instance of malpractice. Along with the assistance of our attorneys, we have a network of medical experts to consult.
NURSING HOME ABUSE
According to the Illinois Nursing Home Care Act, neglect occurs when a facility fails to provide or withhold adequate medical care, personal care, or assistance with daily activities which can result in physical or mental harm. We can help hold the nursing home accountable if injury or death is experienced.
MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS
We handle car and watercraft accidents. Many car and watercraft accidents have complexities that are not immediately apparent, especially to the victims. Our lawyers know how to deal with these issues.
TRUCKING ACCIDENTS
We handle truck accidents. When a commercial truck or vehicle is involved in an accident, you will have to fight the transportation company and its insurer. Many trucking accidents have complexities that are not immediately apparent, especially to the victims. Our lawyers know how to fight these companies.
CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENTS
Safe, responsible construction workers follow protocol and take the appropriate precautions to uphold their safety on the job. Sometimes, even though all protocols and precautions are followed, employees can end up suffering damaging injuries.
WRONGFUL DEATH
Wrongful death cases can be a result of a person dying by the fault of another person or entity. Lawsuits can recover compensation such as pain and suffering over the loss of the individual, funeral expenses, and lost wages from the deceased individual.
