  Personal Injury Attorney

  Our attorneys have nearly a century of combined experience practicing law. We have repeatedly proven our ability to win personal injury, medical malpractice, wrongful death, workers’ compensation, and defective product cases. Our successes include several multi-million dollar recoveries. One of our notable victories was achieved in federal court. Over the course of a five-week trial, a Rubin & Machado attorney secured a $3.5 million verdict for proving that air traffic controllers caused a tragic wrongful death by providing improper runway taxi instructions.

  Workers’ Compensation

  Workers' compensation (commonly called "workers' comp") is a form of insurance that employers must carry in order to provide for their employees when workplace injuries occur. Through a workers' compensation claim, injured workers in Illinois can seek compensation for medical expenses and lost wages. Family members of workers who have been killed on the job can also file workers' comp claims. In a perfect world, employers and their insurance companies would do right by their employees and honor their workers' comp claims. However, in the real world, claims are often unfairly denied. That's why injured workers in Chicago turn to our workers' compensation lawyers.

  Truck Accident Lawyer

  If you are approached by representatives of an insurance or trucking company after an accident, don't speak to them and do not accept a settlement without first talking to the truck accident lawyers at Rubin & Machado in Chicago. These early offers are generally an attempt to get you to accept a settlement that is smaller than what you deserve. In fact, we recommend you do not discuss any aspects of the accident with representatives of the other side until after you've spoken with a lawyer who is willing to look out for your interests. Otherwise, you may unwittingly compromise your chances of achieving the outcome you truly deserve.

  Spinal Cord Injury Attorney

  Under ideal circumstances, our attorneys can negotiate a settlement with the responsible party's insurance company that covers the true extent of your losses. When it comes to spine injuries, the necessary amount of restitution can amount to millions of dollars. Still, it is common for an insurance company to offer a settlement that is well below what a victim actually deserves. Rest assured that Rubin & Machado will not hesitate to take your case to court if an appropriate settlement cannot be reached. We have the resources to create a compelling case on your behalf and convince a jury that you deserve a maximum award, which will allow you to cope with the devastating losses that have resulted from your injury.
