Criminal Law

• Wrongful Death
  Nursing home abuse and neglect can result in wrongful death or a number of injuries and other conditions that negatively affect residents. It often takes a serious physical and emotional toll on residents and may result in a significantly diminished quality of life. In some cases, a nursing home resident may be unable to recognize that they are being neglected or too embarrassed or ashamed to report the maltreatment to family, so it is important for family members to be able to recognize that their loved one could possibly be a victim of abuse or neglect. Some of the more common injuries or conditions that could be the result of abuse or negligence on the part of nursing home staff include the following...
• Traffic Violations
  Negligence is by far the most common form of civil suit filed. It arises in many situations. In a motor vehicle collision, one driver may be negligent when they are speeding, run a red light, fail to yield appropriately, or in any other way do not act carefully. Negligence might occur when a property owner fails to keep floors free of hazards or ensure those on the property are safe.

Property Law

• Premises Liability
  Personal injuries can happen in a number of different ways, and many injuries occur because of a dangerous hazard that exists or existed on another person’s property. Property and business owners have the legal duty to inspect and maintain their property so that it is reasonably safe for any visitors or patrons. Additionally, if hazards do exist, they must provide adequate warning so that visitors can take necessary care. When property owners do not live up to this duty and injuries occur, they should be held liable for their negligence under premises liability law.
• Property Damage

• Medical Malpractice
  Healthcare providers such as hospitals, doctors, nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists, dentists, chiropractors and podiatrists are legally required to conduct themselves in accordance with the appropriate standard of care to prevent their patients from suffering injuries or death. In Illinois, the standard of care that applies to all professionals is “same degree of knowledge, skill and ability as an ordinarily careful professional would exercise under similar circumstances.” When healthcare providers breach this standard of care by failing to use the appropriate degree of care, the patients who are harmed can suffer significant injuries or death, and this can give rise to a potential medical malpractice lawsuit.
