Understanding Each Practice Area

Personal injury law protects those who have suffered severe bodily injury as a result of another's carelessness or negligence. Personal injury victims may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other expenditures. Our personal injury lawyers have experience helping injury victims get the compensation they deserve in a number of personal injury cases, including auto accidents, medical malpractice, premises liability, product liability, and more.  

Surviving family members may launch a wrongful death case against the entity or individual whose acts resulted in the death of a loved one due to wrongdoing, carelessness, or default. Medical errors, automobile accidents, and defective goods are all common causes of wrongful death. The assistance of a wrongful death lawyer is critical not only for your peace of mind during this difficult time, but also to help guarantee that you receive just compensation for your tragic loss.  

Medical malpractice occurs when a nurse, doctor, or surgeon, by negligence or wrongdoing, induces medical injury or death upon a patient. Our Lake County medical malpractice attorneys handle all cases of medical negligence, including birth injuries, medication mistakes, misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, surgical errors, anesthesia errors, and failure to treat a patient.  

Nursing home cases come about when there is abuse, neglect, and a general lack of supervision of the elderly in nursing and assisted living facilities. There needs to be a far greater level of attention paid to elderly, especially when they get to the end stages of life. Nursing home liability holds the nursing home, their administrator, and their employees accountable for their actions - specifically, their lack of supervision, abuse and neglect.

Motor vehicle accidents are some of the most common cases that personal injury attorneys handle. Whether these are rear-end accidents, t-bone accidents, left-turn cases, car v. pedestrian, car v. bike, underinsured/uninsured cases, each motor vehicle accident case is complex and unique in its own right and deserves the attention of a well-prepared and experienced attorney. Dealing with insurance companies without the help of a skilled attorney can put you in jeopardy of being taken advantage of.

Premises cases concerning slip/trip and falls in businesses or individuals homes, accidents on sidewalks, defects to a municipality street or roadway, or any other accident concerning the property of an individual or corporation are difficult cases. Often time, investigation of these incidents takes the experience of an attorney to properly analyze. It is always best to consult with an attorney who has trial experience in these challenging cases.
