Our firm is an AV (highest) - rated, Chicago-based firm which concentrates in the litigation, trial and appeal of personal-injury cases. We have represented the interests of people hurt or killed as a result of construction negligence; roadway crashes involving cars, trucks and motorcycles; unsafe products; property-related injuries, including trip-and-fall, slip-and-fall and defective design cases; professional negligence, including medical malpractice, legal malpractice and architectural malpractice; and railroad injuries, including both train movement and FELA (train employee) cases. From time to time, we have provided representation to physicians and other people being sued, acting as their personal counsel. We have also, on occasion, represented people who had medical-insurance coverage issues.
Where many law firms call themselves trial lawyers, very few lawyers actually try cases. The members of our firm do. Many of our cases settle, but we never count on that happening. There are times when an insurance company or corporation refuses to provide a reasonable offer to settle a case. When that happens, the members of a law firm must be willing to do what it takes to go to court, explain the case to a jury and then obtain fair compensation.
Eight of our attorneys have acted as first chair (primary) in trials which resulted million-dollar plus awards. Five of our lawyers have had jury verdicts in excess of $5 million. We have no rookies in our firm. Every one of our lawyers has tried multiple jury cases to verdict.
