Legal Help With Various Types of Personal Injury Matters

At Schwartz Injury Law, we handle a wide range of personal injury cases. Each of these cases involves unique legal considerations and requires a dedicated approach to ensure the best possible outcome for our clients. Below are some of the personal injury cases we handle:

  • Medical Malpractice: When you seek medical care, you trust that your healthcare providers will deliver appropriate treatment based on established standards. Unfortunately, when medical professionals fail to meet these standards, the consequences can be severe. Medical malpractice may involve misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, or birth injuries. These errors can lead to prolonged suffering, additional medical procedures, and even permanent disabilities.
  • Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect: Abuse in nursing homes can take many forms, and victims may suffer physical, emotional, and financial harm. Neglect may involve failing to provide adequate food, medical care, or hygiene. At Schwartz Injury Law, we are dedicated to protecting the rights of vulnerable nursing home residents. We work tirelessly to hold negligent facilities and staff members accountable and recover compensation for the harm suffered by residents.
  • Wrongful Death: Tragic situations in which a person’s death is caused by the careless or reckless actions of another party may involve issues such as medical malpractice, car accidents, or nursing home neglect. Schwartz Injury Law represents families in wrongful death cases, helping them recover compensation for funeral and burial expenses, lost financial support, loss of companionship, and emotional distress. We are committed to providing compassionate support while seeking justice for grieving families.
  • Product Liability: When manufacturers, designers, or retailers fail in their duty to provide safe products, innocent consumers can be seriously injured. Product liability cases can involve defective medical devices, dangerous medications, faulty household appliances, defective car parts, and more. At Schwartz Injury Law, we help victims of product defects by thoroughly investigating the product's design, manufacturing, and marketing flaws to hold responsible parties accountable for the harm they have caused.
  • Car Accidents: Collisions often result from negligent actions, including distracted driving, speeding, driving under the influence, or reckless behavior. Motor vehicle accidents can lead to a wide range of injuries, from minor fractures to severe traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage.

Personal Injury Case FAQs

Q

What Should I Do Immediately After a Personal Injury Accident?

Answer: After being injured, it is important to receive medical attention, even if your injuries appear minor. Document the scene of the accident by taking photos and gathering information from witnesses if possible. It is also crucial to report the incident to the relevant authorities (such as the police in the case of a car accident). Last but not least, contact an experienced personal injury attorney at Schwartz Injury Law as soon as possible.

Q

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Illinois?

Answer: In Illinois, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. However, there are exceptions depending on the type of case. For example, medical malpractice claims may have specific deadlines based on when the injury was discovered. It is important to act quickly to avoid losing your right to recover compensation. We can help you understand the specific deadlines that may apply in your case and ensure that your claim is filed on time.

Q

What Types of Compensation Are Available in Personal Injury Cases?

Answer:

  • Pain and Suffering: Financial compensation for the physical pain and emotional suffering endured as a result of the injury.
  • Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Compensation for the loss of ability to enjoy hobbies, activities, and other aspects of life that were previously part of the victim’s regular routines.
  • Medical Expenses: Current and future medical costs related to treatment, surgeries, rehabilitation, medications, and any necessary medical devices.
  • Lost Wages: Compensation for time missed from work due to the injury, as well as loss of future earning potential if the injury has affected a victim's ability to return to work or perform the same job.
