After winning a $3.6 million verdict following a three week medical malpractice wrongful death trial, the case was appealed since the trial judge granted the doctor’s post-trial motion. Our verdict was upheld by the Appellate Court. See

CivilAgreement®Mediation Services, Inc. Because of my non-law background, I have greatly enjoyed mediating cases between disputing parties. In 2020 I closed the mediation practice and now only work as a trial attorney on medical malpractice, childhood sexual assault, personal injury, and legal malpractice cases.
People who are injured at work often need attorneys to assist them in obtaining the maximum benefits allowed by Illinois Law. Many employers will voluntarily pay medical bills (100%) and temporary total disability (66% of your average weekly wage) and NOT volunteer to pay permanent disability benefits which may be a sizable lump sum amount.
Any personal injury or wrongful death case is of interest to us, whether it was caused by an act of medical negligence, auto accident, slip and fall, defective product, or work-related incident. We also litigate a few legal malpractice cases which involve serious injuries and gross legal negligence by other attorneys. These kinds of cases usually occupy about 80% of our time. The other 20% falls into our family law litigation and mediation practice.
Medical Malpractice
Try to obtain all pertinent medical records and accident reports. Medical records can be obtained from the Medical Records office of the hospital, clinic or doctor’s office. They may require you to sign a release form. Some hospitals allow patients to do this on-line. If your potential claim involves medical malpractice please do not mention that you are consulting with an attorney; instead simply advise the records office clerk that you wish to obtain your records for “personal reasons.”
