• Wrongful Death
  The attorneys at Jackowiak Law Offices are very familiar with disturbing nursing home abuse and nursing home neglect cases. Our Chicago nursing home lawyers are experienced injury attorneys who fight every day to protect the rights of nursing home patients and their families. Deciding to place a parent or family member in a nursing home facility is a difficult decision to make. When a nursing home fails to provide patients with the appropriate level of care and support, serious injuries and medical issues can occur, such as fractures, malnutrition, dehydration, medical mistakes, misdiagnosis, improper medication, infections and even wrongful death.
• Murder
  In most cases, the statute of limitations for a wrongful death claim in Illinois is two years. However, there are a number of notable exceptions. For example, the statute of limitations is five years where the death is the result of “violent intentional conduct,” and the personal representative must file within one year after final resolution of a criminal case in which the defendant is charged with first or second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter or reckless homicide, or certain other criminal offenses.

Property Law

• Premises Liability
  Under premises liability law, property owners in Chicago have a duty to maintain safe conditions on their properties so that visitors are not injured, and business owners must post warnings of unsafe conditions. Nonetheless, accidents are common and often happen in grocery stores, restaurants, office buildings, shopping malls, and parking lots. Slipping and falling is the most common premises liability accident. But injuries are also frequently caused by inadequate security, fires, explosions, and exposure to hazardous materials.

• Medical Malpractice
  While we trust doctors and medical facilities with our health – and, in many cases, our lives – experience has shown that this trust is too often misplaced. In 2016, Johns Hopkins University released the results of a shocking study which revealed that medical mistakes were the third-leading cause of death in the United States. Even with this alarming statistic, we know that far more instances of medical malpractice go unreported, and that non-fatal medical mistakes are, unfortunately, a routine occurrence.
