Injuries can occur anywhere, and they sometimes result from the negligent actions of another. Whether you’re involved in a vehicle accident on your way to work or simply slip and fall due to hazards on someone else’s property, you have the right to seek compensation to cover the costs of your injuries.

Personal injury damages cover medical expenses, pain and suffering, and lost wages. In especially egregious cases, punitive damages may also be awarded in order to punish those responsible for especially negligent or willful actions. These cases are most often resolved as settlements between you and the other party’s insurance company, and it’s important to be able to negotiate with these companies to get what you deserve. We can help you recover damages for any of the following types of accidents:

• Vehicle accidents
• Medical injuries and mistakes
• Property liability, such as slip and fall accidents
• Product liability
• Wrongful death

In the event that you suffer an injury while at work, you typically cannot sue your employer for damages. Illinois workers compensation law prevents that.

Instead of suing, you can receive compensation for any injuries you suffer while fulfilling work-related duties, regardless of fault. While it is a no-fault system, your employer may still attempt to reduce the amount you’re owed for your workplace injury, or even deny you benefits entirely. In these instances, you’ll want an experienced Illinois personal injury attorney at your side.

Whether you’ve been hurt in a personal injury accident or in the course of employment, we’ll evaluate your case and negotiate on your behalf. Call us at 630.395.9496 to set up a consultation.

When operating a business, you’ll inevitably run into some kind of conflict. Often, that conflict occurs with your business partners, licensees, or other contracted parties, and resolving those conflicts in a healthy way is central to helping your business continue forward.

Sometimes, these disputes are handled through direct litigation, but alternative forms of dispute resolution (or ADR) are becoming more and more popular. These forms of dispute resolution, such as arbitration, mediation, and conciliation, are often less time consuming and more cost-effective than litigation in court, and they allow greater potential to preserve valuable business relationships in many cases.

Our practice areas cover many facets of business conflicts, such as:

• Commercial litigation and dispute resolution
• Commodities, futures, and derivatives litigation
• Intellectual property litigation and dispute resolution
• Healthcare litigation
• Labor and employment disputes

Handling these types of conflicts requires an acute knowledge of the regulations and rules involved in the dispute. Our Chicago corporate lawyers are well equipped to help you through each of these conflicts, and we can help you achieve favorable results.
