Compensation

Injuries equal expense for you and your family. Damages typically include a combination of monetary and non-monetary losses.

Monetary damages are those that are a direct financial loss such as your medical bills, lost wages, lost earning potential, and property damage such as damage to your vehicle in an auto accident.

Non-monetary damages are those very real losses that are more difficult to tie a figure to such as mental anguish, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.

If you have been injured due to someone else′s negligence or wrongdoing, you deserve compensation for your losses, and we can help.

Not sure if you have a case?

The circumstances leading up to a personal injury case can be confusing. While some cases are fairly clear cut, many can leave you wondering if the person or entity that caused you harm can really be held responsible under the law.

In most types personal injury cases you must prove negligence to prove fault. Negligence is not intentional wrongdoing. It is simply the failure to use reasonable care.

Even if you feel that you may have been partially to blame for your injuries, you may still have a case. In Illinois as long as you were less than 50% responsible for your injuries, you can still hold the other responsible party responsible for their share.

If you were injured by a defective product, you do not have to prove negligence or intentional wrongdoing. Even if the maker, manufacturer, or seller of the product used reasonable care, they can be held responsible for your injuries if the product was defective.

Defective products are often at the heart of cases such as auto accidents and health care related injuries. We will investigate your case and help you determine what type of case you are truly facing.
