Chicago Personal Injury Lawyers Seeking Justice for Victims of Accidents

Following an injury that has occurred due to the negligence or misconduct of another party, a person and their family may struggle to determine how to respond as they pursue compensation for their financial losses and other damages. At Schwartz Jambois, our team of dedicated attorneys focuses on personal injury cases, providing compassionate support and aggressive advocacy for our clients. We handle a wide range of personal injury cases, and with our extensive experience in these matters, we can provide the legal representation needed to ensure that our clients receive the compensation they deserve.

Car Accidents

Being involved in a car accident can have devastating consequences. Even seemingly minor collisions can result in serious injuries that require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation. Our skilled attorneys understand the complexities involved in car accident cases—from determining fault to negotiating with insurance companies—and we will work diligently to protect your rights and pursue maximum compensation for your damages.

Truck Accidents

Due to the size and weight disparities between commercial trucks and other vehicles, truck accidents often result in severe injuries or even fatalities. These types of cases require knowledge of federal regulations governing the trucking industry as well as an understanding of how negligent parties may attempt to shift blame. Our experienced team is equipped with the resources necessary to investigate these complex accidents, establish liability on the part of trucking companies or other parties, and ensure that injury victims are fully compensated for their damages.

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Elderly people residing in nursing homes deserve proper care and respect from staff members. However, there are some situations where vulnerable residents may suffer harm due to nursing home abuse or neglect. Staff members who are entrusted with patients' well-being may purposely cause harm, or injuries may occur due to issues such as understaffing, lack of supervision, or medication errors. We are committed advocates for elderly victims who have suffered harm due to mistreatment or inadequate care within a nursing home facility, and we can help a family take steps to hold a negligent nursing home responsible for the harm suffered due to neglect or abuse.

Medical Malpractice

Medical professionals have a duty of care to their patients, but mistakes can occur, and patients may suffer harm due to negligence by doctors or nurses. Medical malpractice cases may involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication errors, birth injuries, and other situations where patients do not receive the proper care. Our attorneys will meticulously review medical records and consult with experts to build a strong case on behalf of those who have been injured by medical negligence.

Catastrophic Injuries

Serious accidents can result in catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, or severe burns. These life-altering injuries often require ongoing medical treatment, and they may prevent victims from returning to work or enjoying their previous quality of life. We understand the ways these types of injuries can affect a person and family physically, emotionally, and financially, and we are prepared to fight for fair compensation for catastrophic injury victims.

Product Liability

If you were injured as a result of a defective or dangerous product such as a faulty appliance or hazardous drug, you may be entitled to take legal action against the manufacturer or distributor responsible for bringing it into the marketplace. Our firm has experience handling product liability claims, and we will work diligently to hold product manufacturers or other liable parties accountable for your damages.

Premises Liability

Property owners have an obligation to maintain safe premises and address hazards that could cause harm to visitors. Slip-and-fall accidents due to unsafe conditions like slippery floors or inadequate lighting are common examples of premises liability claims. Whether you were injured in a commercial establishment or on private property due to negligence by the owner or occupier, we can help you pursue compensation for the damages you have suffered.

Wrongful Death

The unexpected loss of a loved one can be incredibly difficult for surviving family members, and they may be affected both emotionally and financially. When a wrongful death occurs due to recklessness or carelessness by another party, surviving family members may be able to receive compensation for their losses. We have experience working with grieving families to pursue justice and secure compensation in wrongful death cases, and we can help you seek closure and financial stability during a challenging time.
