Premises Liability Claims Against Negligent Property Owners

Serious injuries may occur because of hazardous conditions on someone else's property. A premises liability claim can address situations where a property owner did not do what was necessary to protect the safety of visitors. Our lawyers can assist with cases involving:

• Slip and Fall Accidents: Winter weather involving snow or ice, rain that gets tracked indoors, or floors that are dangerous because they are wet or damaged may result in fall injuries.
• Inadequate Lighting: Poorly lit parking lots, stairways, or other areas on a property could lead to trip-and-fall injuries.
• Dog Bites: A pet owner may be held liable for the injuries that occur when their animal bites someone.
• Swimming Pool Accidents: Public or private pools may be dangerous because of inadequate supervision, a lack of fencing to prevent children from accessing a pool, or poor maintenance.
• Negligent Security: When a property owner does not take steps to protect visitors against harm due to criminal activity, they may be held liable for injuries that occur because of a lack of security.

Medical Malpractice

When patients are not provided with the proper medical care, or when medical providers make mistakes that should have been preventable, serious injuries can occur. In a medical malpractice claim, an injured patient may obtain compensation for the harm they have suffered because of the negligence of medical professionals. Some of the issues addressed in these claims may include:

• Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: When a doctor fails to identify health issues, delays in diagnosing a patient's condition, or diagnoses a condition incorrectly, a patient may be prevented from receiving the proper treatment, and they may suffer serious injuries.
• Surgical Errors: Mistakes that can occur during surgery may include operations performed on the wrong body part, leaving items inside a person's body, or causing damage to internal organs during a procedure.
• Medication Errors: Medical providers may prescribe medications incorrectly, pharmacists may make errors when filling prescriptions, or nurses may make mistakes when administering medications. These issues may result in a person receiving the wrong medication or the wrong dose, resulting in issues such as allergic reactions or overdoses.
• Birth Injuries: Negligence during labor and delivery can cause a child or mother to suffer serious injuries. In situations where doctors or nurses fail to ensure that a child receives enough oxygen, brain injuries may occur that could lead to cerebral palsy or other developmental issues.

Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse

When elderly people receive care, supervision, and medical treatment in nursing homes, they may be at risk of harm if a facility or its staff members are negligent. Nursing home abuse and neglect are pervasive issues affecting families throughout the United States. Nursing home residents may be harmed because of :

• Neglect: Staff members may fail to provide a person with adequate food and water, they may neglect the hygiene of residents, or they may not provide the supervision and assistance needed to prevent issues such as falls or bedsores.
• Physical Abuse: Actions by staff members such as hitting, slapping, or restraining a resident can lead to serious harm.
• Emotional and Psychological Abuse: Issues such as threats, verbal abuse, intentional humiliation, or isolation can cause mental distress for nursing home residents.
• Sexual Abuse: Some elderly people or nursing home residents with disabilities may be targeted for abuse by people who believe that their actions will not be reported.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

There are many situations where collisions take place on roads throughout DuPage County. Most of the time, crashes are caused by the negligence of drivers, although there may be some cases where other parties may share responsibility for causing accidents. Our lawyers can help people who have been injured in accidents such as:

Car Accidents

Collisions between passenger vehicles can lead to multiple types of injuries, including whiplash, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, broken bones, and more. Negligent driving is the most common cause of car accidents, and it may include distracted driving, speeding, running red lights, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and other types of violations.

Commercial Truck Accidents

Accidents involving 18-wheelers, tractor-trailer trucks, and other large trucks will be more likely to cause serious injuries to people in other vehicles that are involved. Multiple parties may be held liable for truck accidents, including truck drivers who drove negligently, trucking companies that failed to supervise drivers correctly, cargo loaders who did not secure items in place on a truck, or manufacturers who were responsible for defective brakes, tires, or other parts.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle riders can be severely injured when other drivers cause collisions. Without a vehicle's structural protection and safety features, motorcyclists may suffer injuries such as road rash, severe fractures, spinal injuries, and brain trauma. Motorcyclists are often unfairly blamed for motorcycle accidents, and legal representation can be crucial in these cases to ensure that negligent drivers will be held responsible.

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians who are struck by vehicles can be seriously harmed, or they may be killed due to the force of impact in a collision. Pedestrian accidents may take place at intersections, in parking lots, in driveways, or in other locations, and injury victims may take steps to hold negligent drivers responsible for their damages.
