Personal Injury
Our personal injury practice handles cases arising from auto accidents, slip-and-falls, and workplace incidents. We represent clients seeking compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. With decades of experience, we negotiate with insurance companies and litigate when necessary to ensure fair settlements.
Medical Malpractice
We specialize in medical malpractice cases involving misdiagnosis, birth injuries, and surgical errors. Our team investigates healthcare provider negligence and pursues compensation for additional medical costs and long-term care needs. With multi-million dollar verdicts, we hold medical professionals accountable for preventable harm.
Wrongful Death
Our wrongful death representation supports families who lost loved ones due to negligence. We handle claims for funeral expenses, lost income, and emotional damages. Through compassionate guidance, we help grieving families secure financial stability while pursuing justice in court.
Nursing Home Abuse
We advocate for victims of nursing home neglect and abuse, including bedsores, medication errors, and physical harm. Our investigations uncover facility violations while pursuing compensation for medical treatment and emotional trauma. We work to protect vulnerable seniors and improve care standards.
Car Accidents
Our car accident attorneys represent victims of collisions involving distracted or drunk drivers. We document property damage, medical treatment, and lost income to build strong claims. With record settlements, we ensure clients receive full compensation for vehicle repairs, medical bills, and emotional distress.

Questions
What is your contingency fee structure?
We work on a pure contingency basis - you pay nothing unless we win your case. Our fees come from the settlement amount, ensuring access to justice without upfront costs.
What compensation can I recover?
You may claim medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care costs. We pursue economic and non-economic damages to fully address your physical, emotional, and financial losses.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Illinois allows two years from injury discovery for personal injury claims. Medical malpractice cases require action within four years of the incident to preserve evidence and witness testimony.
Do you handle out-of-court settlements?
We prioritize negotiated settlements but prepare every case for trial. Our $150M+ track record demonstrates effectiveness in both courtroom litigation and strategic out-of-court resolutions.
