Medical Malpractice & Nursing Home Neglect

Medical professionals must provide safe and effective care. If a misdiagnosis, surgical error, or medication mistake has harmed you, you may be entitled to compensation. Similarly, if your loved one has suffered abuse or neglect in a nursing home, we will fight for their justice.

Catastrophic Injuries & Wrongful Death

Spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), and wrongful death claims require an experienced legal team. These cases often result in long-term disabilities, extensive medical treatment, and significant emotional and financial strain. Our team fights aggressively for maximum compensation in these complex cases.

Premises Liability Cases

If you were injured due to hazardous conditions on someone else’s property, you may have a premises liability case. Common claims include slip and fall accidents, dog bites, and negligent security cases where assaults occur due to a lack of proper safety measures.

How Our Personal Injury Attorney in Burr Ridges Builds Strong Cases

Winning a personal injury case requires a strategic approach. Our legal team thoroughly investigates each claim to build the strongest possible case, which includes:

• Collecting police reports, surveillance footage, and witness statements.
• Consulting medical professionals to assess injury severity and future care needs.
• Reviewing insurance policies and negotiating aggressively with insurers.
• Determining all liable parties, whether an individual, corporation, or government entity.
• Preparing for trial if the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation.

Unlike firms that rush through claims, we take the time to do it right to ensure you receive every dollar you are owed.

Understanding Personal Injury Claims in Illinois

Navigating Illinois personal injury laws can be overwhelming. Some key factors to consider include:

• Statute of Limitations – You typically have two years from the date of the injury to file a claim (some exceptions may apply)
• Comparative Negligence – Illinois law allows victims to recover damages even if they were partially at fault, as long as they are less than 50% responsible.
• Types of Compensation – You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, future medical care, and more.
