Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
- Medical Malpractice: When healthcare providers fail to meet the standard of care expected in their profession, patients can suffer severe injuries or even death. Medical malpractice may involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication errors, birth injuries, or failure to provide appropriate treatment. We are committed to holding negligent doctors, nurses, hospitals, and healthcare providers accountable for their actions.
- Product Liability: Product liability cases arise when a product is poorly designed, manufactured, or labeled in a way that makes it dangerous to consumers. Common examples include faulty vehicle parts, dangerous drugs, malfunctioning medical devices, and unsafe household products. If you have been injured by a defective product, our attorneys will help you pursue a product liability claim against the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer.
- Truck Accidents: Victims of truck accidents may face serious injuries, long-term disabilities, and mounting medical bills. These can be caused by driver fatigue, improper maintenance, overloaded cargo, or reckless driving. We will work to hold negligent truck drivers and trucking companies accountable.
- Car Accidents: Whether caused by distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, or failure to follow traffic laws, car accidents can result in broken bones, head trauma, and spinal cord damage. Schwartz Injury Law will negotiate with insurance companies and, if necessary, represent you in court.
Personal Injury FAQs
Answer: You must be able to show that another party was negligent and that their negligence directly caused your injury. Schwartz Injury Law can review the details of your case and determine whether you have grounds for a personal injury claim. We will help you gather the necessary evidence to build a strong case and recover compensation.
Answer: In Illinois, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim is generally two years from the date of the injury. However, this timeframe can vary depending on the specifics of the case. It's important to consult an attorney as soon as possible to ensure that you do not miss any deadlines. We will help you navigate the legal process and make sure your claim is filed on time.
Answer: Illinois follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means you may still be able to recover compensation if you were partially at fault for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of fault attributed to you. If you are found to be more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover damages. Schwartz Injury Law can evaluate the facts of your case and help minimize any fault attributed to you.
