Personal Injury Cases

These are just a few of the personal injury matters our Firm lawyers have successfully resolved
on behalf of our clients:

  • The Firm recently won a $4.7 million dollar jury verdict in a medical negligence lawsuit against a Chicago-area hospital.  
    The verdict was on behalf of the firm’s client, a 76 year old woman who required amputations of both legs as a result of a
    post-operative loss of blood flow.  The lawsuit alleged that the hospital’s nurses provided substandard post-operative care
    following an abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery.   After a one week trial the twelve person jury deliberated only four hours
    before returning the unanimous verdict in our client’s favor. (March, 2008; Edward Manzke, Aaron Rapier, Daniel Fabbri)

  • Third District Appellate Court affirms record setting jury verdict on behalf of Firm’s client.  Please see here for a copy of
    the Court’s decision.  The Firm successfully tried, to verdict, a case brought on behalf of the family of a young woman killed
    on campus while a freshman at Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois. In May, 2006, a Knox County jury returned a
    $1,050,000 verdict in favor of the family whose daughter was killed in 1998.   The Firm filed the wrongful death lawsuit
    against the college, alleging it was negligent in its provision of campus security. The verdict is a record high for Knox
    County, Illinois.  The Appellate Court decision affirmed and upheld the jury's verdict.  (March, 2008; Edward Manzke,
    Aaron Rapier, Robert Dawidiuk)

  • The firm obtained a $125,000 settlement on behalf of a client who, while acting as a Good Samaritan, was hit by an
    oncoming car.  The client had stopped to help a truck driver, who had spilled a load of steel into the roadway when he was
    hit by a driver passing through the intersection. (December, 2007; Julie Anderson)

  • A personal injury attorney at The Firm was able to obtain a $15,000.00 settlement for a woman injured when a monster
    truck went out of control in August, 2007 in DeKalb, IL.  Thanks to The Firm’s hard work the settlement was obtained
    without the need to file a lawsuit, yet still able to be finalized within four months of the incident.  (December, 2007;  Daniel
    Fabbri)

  • Personal injury lawyers at The Firm were able to secure a settlement in excess of $700,000 on behalf of a widow in
    Yorkville, Illinois following a serious car crash her and her husband were involved in.  The woman was seriously injured,
    and her husband died several months after the collision as a result of the severe injuries he suffered in the intersection related
    crash.  The case was filed in federal court in Chicago, as the trucking company that owned the truck that struck their vehicle
    was located in Wisconsin.  (July, 2006; Edward Manzke, Daniel Fabbri)

  • The Firm filed a lawsuit on behalf of a man who died of a form of cancer. The suit alleges the decades-long spilling of a
    toxic chemical (TCE) contaminated the water supply serving the home of the Firm’s client, causing his cancer and his death.
    The case was settled for a confidential amount.  (December 2004; Edward Manzke, Aaron Rapier, Daniel Fabbri)  

  • The Firm reached a settlement of $7.2 million on behalf of a woman diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (a form of
    cancer).  The suit alleged the spilling of a toxic chemical contaminated the water supply serving the childhood home of the
    Firm’s client, and caused her cancer.    (September, 2004; Shawn Collins, Edward Manzke)

  • The Firm obtained a $325,000 settlement for a client struck by an automobile while crossing a Naperville street.  (March,
    2004; Edward Manzke)

    spilling of a toxic chemical (TCE) contaminated the water supply serving the home of the Firm’s client, causing her cancer.
