Car Accidents and Other Motor Vehicle Collisions

Motor vehicle accidents take place on a daily basis in and around Chicago. Collisions involving passenger vehicles, motorcycles, commercial trucks, rideshare vehicles, bicycles, or pedestrians can lead to multiple types of serious injuries. Our attorney can take steps to determine the causes of an accident and highlight issues such as distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, or a driver's failure to obey traffic signals. By showing that another driver was at fault, he can help you receive compensation for the injuries you have suffered in a collision.

Slip and Fall Accidents

When you visit a store, a restaurant, a private home, or any other property owned by someone else, the property owner has a legal obligation to protect your safety. If a property owner did not take the proper steps to address hazards such as wet floors, broken stairs, uneven sidewalks, or inadequate lighting, and these issues lead to slip and fall accidents, you can hold them responsible for the damages you have suffered. Our lawyer will work with you to show that a property owner or another party who had control over a property was responsible for your injuries, and he will work to ensure that you will be able to receive financial compensation.

Medical Malpractice Claims

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to provide care and treatment that met the accepted medical standards, and a patient suffers harm as a result. These cases can be complex, but our attorney understands how to establish that injuries were caused by medical negligence. He can assist with cases involving issues such as:

• Misdiagnosis: A doctor may fail to identify a condition such as cancer, heart attack, or stroke, which can prevent a person from receiving the proper treatment that would have protected their health and well-being.
• Surgical Errors: Surgeons may make mistakes made during operations, such as by damaging internal organs, leaving surgical instruments inside patients, or failing to prevent infections.
• Medication Errors: Doctors may make errors on prescriptions, leading to a person receiving the wrong medication or the wrong dose. Errors can also occur when medications are administered by nurses or other staff members or when pharmacists dispense medications, causing patients to suffer harm.
• Birth Injuries: A newborn baby or mother may suffer harm when medical staff members fail to monitor patients during labor, when C-sections or other interventions are delayed, when mistakes are made during delivery, when providers do not recognize infections or other serious concerns, or because of other forms of negligence.

Nursing Home Negligence

Residents of nursing homes can suffer serious injuries because of the negligence of facilities or staff members. Understaffing, poor training, inadequate supervision, or other issues can lead to nursing home neglect, and residents may experience malnutrition, dehydration, bedsores, falls, or other issues leading to injuries. Some people may suffer serious harm because of nursing home abuse, including physical abuse, verbal abuse, or sexual abuse. Our lawyer can work with families to hold negligent nursing homes accountable for their failure to protect the health and safety of residents.

Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries can occur in car accidents, falls, acts of violence, or other situations. Some people who suffer brain injuries may experience temporary symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, or difficulty concentrating, while others may suffer from permanent impairments. A serious brain injury can affect a person's memory, speech, personality, intellectual abilities, and many other areas of their life. Our attorney can work with clients to document how a traumatic brain injury has affected a person's life and take steps to recover compensation from the person or party who was responsible.

Fire Injuries

Fires and fire injuries can occur for many reasons, including faulty electrical wiring, defective appliances, or a landlord's failure to maintain smoke detectors and fire exits. Our lawyer can investigate a fire to determine its cause, and he can help a victim hold a property owner, product manufacturer, contractor, landlord, or other responsible parties liable for causing or failing to prevent a fire. People who have experienced burns, smoke inhalation, or other injuries due to fires may be able to receive compensation for medical treatment, lost income, scarring, and emotional distress.
