Many law firms (in addition to practicing in the field of personal injury) practice in MANY other areas of law, such as criminal law, divorce, business, real estate. Negligence generally involving the acts and/or omission of services by doctors, hospitals, chiropractors, dentists, nursing homes, etc. When a family member (spouse, parent or sibling) you cherished and relied upon is killed by virtue of another person or company's negligence, you are entitled to recover certain benefits from the wrongdoer.
Those owning and/or operating PREMISES (including parking lots and sidewalks) owned and/or operated by retailers, commercial tenants, restaurants, medical facilities, apartment buildings, grocery stores, private homeowners, etc. owe a duty to patrons and/or invitees to ensure that their PREMISES are safe from known hazards. Construction accidents (comprising approximately 21.4% of U.S. construction related fatalities annually) arise from a variety of sources.
If, as a result of another's negligence, you are injured on your construction job from falls, dropped equipment, ladders, cranes, overhead power lines, scaffolding, motor vehicles and/or the use of heavy equipment, you are entitled to be compensated.

Generally, all motor vehicle accidents (truck, auto or motorcycle) share the following important things you should know!.
First, try to remember whether before the accident you saw (direct line of vision or in the mirror) the other driver on a cell phone, texting or doing something (e.g., turned while speaking with someone, reaching into the back seat, putting on make-up, etc.) that directed his/her attention elsewhere.
Next, observe the other driver after the accident, to see if there is any odor of alcohol, slurred speech, etc. and listen closely to anything the driver says, especially if the driver apologizes or says something like (s)he is late for work or "didn't see."

To say that there are many daunting challenges in the filing and prosecution of a medical malpractice case would be an understatement.
To begin with, unlike almost any other area of law, this type of case is one which only rarely settles until the commencement of trial.
Most lawyers working in this area of law do not wish to tell their Clients of this fact from the outset since (especially in the Cook County Court system) it often takes years of work to undergo what is called "discovery" and thereafter prepare a case for trial.

Reading the explanations (above) of the area of injuries in "Wrongful Death" may appear highly technical in nature, but this area of law actually is very technical.
For that reason, rather than attempt to go into any lengthy explanation beyond it, we suggest you simply focus on whether or not you have suffered a loss of a loved one due to the negligence or other fault(s) of some individual, corporation or municipality.
If such is the case, you should simply contact us and set an appointment to meet for a consultation.

The "Slip and Fall" case (where a seasoned attorney really counts) is one of the most difficult types of cases because each case is so very multifaceted and therefore difficult to win.
Liability for slip & fall cases arises from the area of law known in legal parlance as "premises liability" and has been said to be "perhaps the most expansive of tort law topics".
Generally speaking, when a right or duty owed to you by an owner or occupier of land (and/or building) is violated and (as a result of that violation) you are injured, your right to compensation for all resulting injuries arises.

Generally, all injuries sustained by employees (arising from accidents which occur in the course of your employment) share the following important facts you should know and which many other attorneys' websites do not mention.
The most important things you must know at the outset, when injured in the course of your employment, is that even if you are at fault (such as making a mistake, but following your normal rules of employment) you are still FULLY ENTITLED TO ALL BENEFITS.
Another important thing is that YOU CANNOT SUE YOUR EMPLOYER FOR THE ACCIDENT!
