DUI/DWI
Types Of Accidents And Damages Many vehicle manufacturers have made safety improvements to their vehicles including airbags, rollover bars, reinforced frames, better tires, etc. Additionally, many states have passed tougher distracted and drunk driving laws. As a result, many lives may have been spared. Unfortunately, there is still an increasing number of vehicles on the road, which means motor vehicle accidents are still occurring at an alarming rate. In fact, according to the NHTSA, every 10 seconds someone in the United States is involved in a car accident. The Illinois Department of Transportation reported 1,151 fatal crashes across the state in 2022 alone.

Wrongful Death
The Jones Act The Jones Act provides an injured seaman a remedy against employers for injuries arising from negligent acts of the employer or co-workers during the course of employment on a vessel. Claims brought under the Jones Act can also raise claims against a vessel’s owner that a vessel was unseaworthy. If a seaman dies, a wrongful death claim may be based on the Jones Act, general maritime law, or on a separate federal statute, the Death on the High Seas Act. The Jones Act is a federal law that provides remedies to seamen who are injured while working on a vessel. The Jones Act extends the provisions of the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA), a statute that provides remedies for injured workers, to provide similar remedies for seamen. As a result, an injured seaman can recover damages from the employer when an employer or a co-worker’s negligence causes an injury. The Jones Act applies only to seamen, which are persons with an employment-related connection to a vessel in navigation and who contribute to the vessel’s function or mission; that is, persons who do the ship’s work. A person whose work is covered under the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act may be treated as a Jones Act seaman in some cases. A lawyer can help figure out whether someone is a seaman for purposes of the act. The Jones Act applies to negligence claims against a seaman’s employer when the employee is injured or killed during the course of employment. Seamen may be protected by the Jones Act even if they are not working on a vessel. If a seaman is injured while working temporarily elsewhere, the Act may still apply. However, if the temporary assignment is not “in the service of the ship” when he was injured, the act may not apply. Failing to provide a safe place to work can give rise to a Jones Act claim, if the unsafe place is the vessel or if it is another place under the employer’s control. An unseaworthiness claim also may be pursued if the employer is also the owner of the vessel, and the injury is caused by an unsafe condition on the vessel. An employer can also be liable if there is a violation of a safety statute which is the cause of the injury. An employer can also be liable for failing to provide adequate medical care. The Jones Act also holds an employer liable for the negligence of other employees or individuals for which the employer is responsible, including the negligence of the seaman’s co-workers during the scope of their employment. An independent contractor can sometimes be viewed as an employee under the Jones Act. The employer must attempt to rescue or search for a seaman if he jumps or falls overboard for as long as it is feasible that the seaman could be alive in the water. Failure to do so can result in liability under the Act. An employer owes a seaman a higher duty of care under the Jones Act than an ordinary negligence case, and the employer can be liable if its breach of that duty, no matter how small

When you find yourself in this position, you may begin searching for “Workers Compensation Lawyers Close to Me” before you know it.

Premises Liability
Since our firm exclusively handles injury cases, we often see clients at their worst. They are hurt, a family member is hurt, someone has died. Medical bills pile up, insurance companies are calling, they can’t work or pay their bills. I have yet to have someone sit across from me for a consultation and tell me how terrific their life is going. When a client comes into my office to talk, it’s usually because they have become overwhelmed and frustrated with an insurance company and the unfamiliar system that seems to be stacked against them. Whether it’s a car wreck, premises liability case, construction injury, medical negligence case or other type of case where you have been injured as the result of someone else’s fault (negligence), I can help you.
Construction Litigation
In 2011, Aaron enrolled at The John Marshall Law School. During law school, he clerked for a large personal injury law firm assisting with complex construction litigation. He also gained invaluable experience completing three judicial externships with the Circuit Court of the Twelfth Judicial Circuit in Joliet, Illinois, the Honorable William Gomolinski in the Law Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County in Chicago, Illinois, and with the Honorable Harry D. Leinenweber in the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois, in Chicago, Illinois.
Property Damage
Statistically, depending on the type of plane you’re in, it is safer to travel in an airplane than in your automobile, when you measure by a “per-mile traveled” basis. However, when an aviation accident occurs, it usually involves more people and causes substantial property damage, as well as more serious injuries and fatalities.

Personal Injury
If you have been emotionally or physically injured, or your property has been damaged, this falls under personal injury law. These laws are designed to ensure the injured party receives compensation for the damages. The winning party of those damages is determined by a person’s negligence, actions, recklessness or carelessness. This area of law is also known as tort law. It functions on both the state and federal levels to protect your rights. In order to take tort action, there must be three elements present.
Medical Malpractice
If you or a family member has been the victim of medical malpractice, you need to seek the assistance of an experienced medical malpractice lawyer in Mokena or Joliet, Illinois. You deserve some adequate compensation for the pain, suffering, and injuries you have encountered.

Dog Bites
Whether a pet is well-trained or not, an attack from them can cause significant physical and emotional damage to a person. Dog bites make up the overwhelming majority of animal attacks, with over 4.5 million occurring in the United States each year. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), of those 4.5 million dog bites, approximately 800,000 require medical care and lead to permanent scars. Dog attacks are a frightening experience. After this type of attack, you or a loved one might be traumatized and severely injured. More than 81% of dog bites result in minor injuries that don’t require medical attention. If a bite is considered to be severe, then it could require stitches, surgery, antibiotics to prevent an infection, or in the most extreme cases, an amputation. For children in particular, injuries resulting from a dog bite can be fatal. Other domestic animal attacks that occur include bites or scratches from a cat or reptile, as well as injuries caused by an exotic animal.
