Personal Injury & Wrongful Death

When you or a loved one are injured or killed because of the negligence of another, you may have a personal injury or wrongful death action. For more than 60 years, we have represented plaintiffs in a wide range of cases who have been injured or killed:

• in an airplane crash or helicopter crash;
• due to the medical malpractice or negligence of doctors, nurses, dentists, hospitals;
• in car, truck, bus, cab, ambulance, police car, motorcycle accidents and crashes;
• by defective, unsafe, hazardous products;
• in businesses, homes, offices that are unsafe and dangerous;
• by a train, railroad, Metra train, CTA train, dangerous and unsafe railroad crossings;  
• while on a construction and workplace site;
• in a gas, oil, electrical, chemical fire or explosion;
• and in all other areas of personal injury.

Since the requirements for filing, pleading, preparing and trying a personal injury or wrongful death case can differ depending on the state or county in which the negligence occurs or where the lawsuit is filed, it is best to consult a Chicago personal injury lawyer who is qualified, experienced and successful to determine if you have a meritorious case.
