Call me now at 312-895-0545 if you are considering a lawsuit.
Your consultation is free and no obligation.
Although I cannot promise an outcome for your case (no reputable lawyer would) – once you are my client I will use the law to reason with a jury and judge, and insurance companies, in order to seek compensation for the harm you have suffered. Compensation may include lost income, medical bills, ongoing treatments, specific damages for the survivors of a wrongful death, and more. We can discuss this during our consultation.
It can be helpful to understand a little bit about the law, and the general grounds on which a claim may be based:
- Negligence: This is the most common reason cited for seeking compensation. It generally means that someone failed to employ the necessary degree of care in the reasonable protection of others.
- Recklessness: This encompasses wanton, heedless actions that would likely result in the injury of others.
- Liability: A simple way to think of this is that everyone has responsibility for their actions or omissions.
- Premeditated misconduct: These cases are usually accompanied by criminal charges. Whether or not prosecution results in a conviction, you may have grounds for a civil case depending on the circumstances.
You have nothing to lose by contacting my offices immediately. I supply a completely free review, and if my services are retained, I charge no attorney’s fees unless damages are awarded. Every state has a statute of limitations, and in Illinois the time frame is generally two years from the time of the injury (or two years after a criminal trial). While that may seem like a lengthy window, evidence is often changed or made unavailable with the passage of time. It is best to contact an attorney as soon as possible.
Additionally, some injuries prove to reveal themselves later in life. Also, those that are immediate and painful may also be long-term. Do not try to tough out the pain. Your ability to earn a living may be compromised; the medical bills may prove too costly; and you may not be able to support yourself or your family.
The period after an accident or injury can prove to be emotional, disorientating and leave you feeling lost. I can help with a free meeting which may help you find your bearings. Life-changing events may require professional guidance. After a free initial consultation, I will give you my opinion on where your case stands. If we are a good fit and my services are retained, I aggressively advocate for the position that you deserve compensation.
