Construction Accidents

In Illinois, there are special laws in place to protect construction workers who are injured on the job. If you suffered a worksite injury, you need to understand your legal protections. You may be entitled to file claims against your employer and others to compensate for your injuries and lost earnings.

Work-Related Injuries

If you have been injured on the job, you are most likely entitled to collect benefits under the Illinois Workers' Compensation Act. After suffering a work-related injury, you should consult an attorney immediately to seek compensation and navigate your options for workers' compensation protection.

Dog Bites

If you've been injured by a dog or another domestic pet, the Illinois Animal Control Act allows you to seek damages from the pet owner even without proving negligence or fault. The statute holds pet owners strictly liable for the damages caused by their pets and makes it easy for the victim to receive compensation.

Medical/Dental Malpractice

When a misdiagnosis or malpractice mistake by a doctor or dentist leads to injury, you can recover the full amount of your economic losses. This includes the cost of medical treatment and lost wages. You may also be able to recover the non-economic losses that you suffered due to the injury.

Wrongful Death

The Illinois Wrongful Death Act allows surviving spouses and children of individuals who have been killed due to negligence or wrongdoing of another to sue for monetary damages. The law permits family members to recover the "money, benefits, goods, and services that the decedent customarily contributed in the past" as well as that which would be gained in the future.

Product Liability

We use products every day, and we all trust the manufacturer that we will be safe and secure. If you have been injured due to the use of dangerous or defective products, you may be able to recover damages. Dangerous or defective products could include prescription drugs, medical devices, tools, vehicles, vehicle accessories, chemicals, food, toys, and household goods.

Premises Liability

If you have been injured while living on or visiting another person's property, you may be able to recover damages if you can prove that the property owner's negligence led to your injuries. These injuries could include slips and falls, exposure to lead or mold, and drowning.

Dram Shop

People often lose control while under the influence of alcohol. If you have suffered an injury due to the actions of an intoxicated person, then the Illinois Liquor Control Act may allow you to sue the business establishment that sold the liquor to the intoxicated person.

Car Accidents and Other Transportation Accidents

If you have been injured in a car, motorcycle, truck, train, snowmobile, personal watercraft, or boating accident and someone else is at fault for the accident that caused your injuries, you should receive compensation.

Your claim should include not just reimbursement of your medical expenses but also compensation for your pain and suffering. You can also receive compensation for any losses in your future earning potential that are due to the accident. We are experienced in these types of claims and will fight to ensure that you receive full compensation for your losses.
