  Wrongful Death Lawyer

  Losing someone you love because of the negligence of another person can be devastating. Medical malpractice, car accidents, and other negligent acts can change your life in an instant. Meanwhile, the grief of a sudden death is compounded by funeral expenses, emotional distress, and loss of income. A wrongful death lawsuit in Chicago can only be filed by a personal representative of the decedent’s estate. If the deceased did not have a will that designated a personal representative, the court may appoint one (usually a spouse or an adult child). If you are the personal representative, the personal injury attorneys with our firm can file a wrongful death claim on your behalf.

  Car Accident Lawyer

  The Illinois Department of Transportation reports there were 246,752 motor vehicle crashes in the state during 2020. That averages to 676 motor vehicle crashes a day. Cook County saw 24,789 injury crashes, just under half of the state total of 52,090. The department reports 2020 had fewer crashes than other years, meaning the number of daily motor vehicle accidents in Illinois is likely currently even higher. Our personal injury attorneys hear from car accident victims frequently, due to the high-traffic roads in Chicago. It's not uncommon for Chicago drivers to experience T-bones, hit-and-runs, wrong-way hits, and other types of collisions. The car accident attorneys of the Elman Joseph Law Group can help you advance your car accident claim and recover compensation for medical bills, property damage, and more.

  Slip and Fall Attorney

  In order to have a slip and fall case, the plaintiff must prove negligence on the part of the property owner. Our lawyers can gather eyewitness testimony, photos, and any surveillance video of the property where you sustained an injury. We can also see if the owner or business has any previous violations for not maintaining the property or for failing to meet safety standards. If you're contacted by a claims adjuster or another attorney, do not speak to them. Insurance companies are out to protect their own interests, not yours. Even if the property owner offers a settlement or to pay your medical bills, let our attorneys speak on your behalf. They may be short-changing you on what your final compensation could be if you had legal help. Or they may use your words against you and argue that you deserve no compensation.

  Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

  When motorcycle riders are in a car accident, they're at risk of sustaining life-changing or catastrophic injuries. Compared to car drivers and passengers in crashes, motorcyclists and motorcycle riders have minimal protection if they're in a collision. Depending on the severity of the injuries sustained during the motorcycle accident, the motorcyclist or rider could pass away. The other drivers involved in the motorcycle crash could be liable for causing fatal injuries. If you or a loved one have been in a Chicago motorcycle accident, our attorneys can file a personal injury claim on your behalf. We can also assist with filing a wrongful death claim if an auto collision caused the loss of a loved one. The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury or fatal injury lawsuit in Illinois is two years from the date of the accident. Do not delay.
