We’ve all heard the expression, “like a pressure cooker ready to explode.” But what happens when a pressure cooker actually explodes and injures the person just trying to cook or jar their foods? Pressure cookers have been used for decades in the kitchen for various meals. Personally, my mom used her pressure cooker all summer […]
I got a call from someone the other day who was upset that her attorney hadn’t called her back since she signed up with him. She gave me his name, and I looked him up. It turns out this person isn’t a lawyer. I then referred her to a top Chicago car accident lawyer, and […]
Railroad injuries are handled entirely differently than other on the job injuries in Illinois, starting with who handles them.

It’s a question most clients ask when they are in the beginning stages of deciding whether to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Chicago. How easy will it be to win the case?

I talk to approximately 200 people a month who have questions about Illinois workers’ compensation law or need representation for an injury. In about 10 of those calls I hear something that I find a little odd. It’s something along the lines of “I’m too busy to get medical treatment for my injury.” If you […]
A caller to my office was rightfully upset with his Chicago workers’ compensation attorney. His case was settled, the contracts were signed and approved by the Arbitrator. Once that happens they get sent to the insurance company for payment. That should take 2-3 weeks usually for them to issue a check to your attorney. All […]
It has been an interesting year for unveiling the effects of long-standing, common household products. First, it was Johnson & Johnson’s baby powder, now it is Roundup week killer. Roundup has been found to be a human carcinogen by the World Health Organization. Evidence linking Roundup to such cancers as myeloma, leukemia, and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma […]
We typically only help people who were injured in car accident cases, so I’m going to start out with the caveat that we can’t help you find an attorney to defend you and what I’m saying is general advice. Now that I have the geeky lawyer disclaimer stuff out of the way … If you […]
I’ve experienced the sudden death of people that I care about greatly and I’ve talked to thousands of people like you who have lost a loved one through an accident or medical malpractice. When someone you care about passes away, especially if it’s sudden, it’s hard to think straight. You have people to call. You […]
We talk to hundreds of people every year who have Illinois workers’ compensation claims. While they all have unique situations, we do get a lot of similar questions. The most common one is what is my case worth? That’s a good question and one we are happy to answer if we can. The truth is […]
In my line of work, I’ve learned not to be bothered by much. There’s no point and acting emotional isn’t a good quality for an attorney. That said, not much pisses me off more than those people who, as a marketing tool to help insurance companies, talk about how our legal system in Illinois heavily […]
