Areas of Practice

Car and Personal Vehicle Accidents

Roads have become increasingly dangerous. Drivers race and weave in and out of traffic, causing horrific crashes that injure the innocent. So called self-driving cars have created a new kind of hazard. Distracted driving by cell phone users is the latest form of vehicle operation negligence causing injury and even death. Motorcycles are ignored by other traffic even when they have the right of way, resulting in unnecessary victims. Unprotected pedestrians and bicyclists seem more like targets. If you or a loved one are injured and it involves a vehicle in any way, it may well result in significant compensation. Remember, there is no fee until you win.

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one due to negligence makes a painful time even more difficult. I have successfully handled numerous wrongful death cases involving cars, trucks, construction equipment, crimes and more, allowing my clients to focus on their grief. Compensation can include funeral and burial expenses, lost wages, and of course the grief, sorrow, mental suffering and loss of companionship of the loved one.

Truck & Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Big trucks are all over our roads. They speed and can’t stop before it’s too late. Long haul drivers often violate the law and drive too many hours, even falling asleep behind the wheel of 75,000 pound trucks with catastrophic results. We investigate every aspect of trucking accidents from the truck, the driver, their employer, and more, in order to achieve the compensation their victims deserve. Remember, there is no fee until you win.

Slip, Trip and Fall Injuries

No one expects to be injured at a restaurant, store, or someone’s home. Unfortunately, property owners don’t always take the care required by law to safely maintain their property. Gutters that leak and cause unnatural accumulations of ice on winter sidewalks, damaged stair treads, handrails that are loose and weak, and slip or trip and fall hazards like merchandise in a store aisle are but a few examples of all too common causes of injury for which victims are entitled to compensation. Remember, there is no fee until you win.

Nursing Home Injuries and Abuse

Seniors are injured, abused and neglected

Nursing homes are supposed to be a place where our loved ones get the care they need, NOT a place to be injured, abused or neglected. All to often, the for profit nursing home industry has ignored patient safety with tragic results. I carefully scrutinize patient intake documents and medical records to evaluate compliance with the Nursing Home Care Act and other applicable laws. Remember, there is no fee until you win.

Construction Accidents

Construction site safety is too often ignored

Construction workers and tradesmen build America and keep it running. Too often they are subject to unsafe conditions. Contractors are required by law to adhere to all safety procedures and equipment maintenance schedules but far too often they fall short and workers are catastrophically injured. Because of my exceptional familiarity with construction equipment and practices, I am recognized as a leader in the representation of injured construction workers from the tallest skyscrapers and roads and bridges to small residential and commercial remodeling jobs. Remember, there is no fee until you win.

Worker’s Compensation

Anyone injured while working may be entitled to workers compensation benefits. Illinois provides some of the best benefits in the country but the insurance companies who administer the funds will make you fight for them. I will fight so you receive the benefits you deserve, including weekly wage benefits, medical care and a settlement. You can’t take on the insurance companies alone. Remember, there is no fee until you win.

I don’t see my case?

Not every case fits into the same box - that’s why I think outside of the box. From assaults by a ride share driver or store employee, a ceiling falling on top of an office worker, a boat dock collapsing, an improperly secured patient in an ambulance, and a car wheel bouncing down the highway into a windshield, I have seen them all and hundreds more and obtained compensation for my client. If you are injured in any way, by anyone or anything, do not hesitate to contact me. Remember, there is no fee until you win.
