Wrongful Death
You are also entitled to compensation if someone close to you died because of the negligent act of others. Generally speaking, clients who file wrongful death suits are the surviving spouse, children, parents and siblings. The purpose of the wrongful death suit is to compensate you for your losses due to the victim’s death. Illinois law recognizes that people close to the victim would suffer major financial and companionship losses due to the victim’s death. It’s important to point out certain claims are not allowed such as lost wages or medical expenses since the suit is not for your personal injury. Those claims would be filed by the victim’s estate and maybe pursued together in court with the wrongful death claim. If you believe that you have a wrongful death claim, please call my telephone number immediately!

Workers Compensation
When you are injured on someone else’s property due to unsafe condition, you have the right to recover money for negligence. The people who have control over the property are required by law to keep the property safe. They need to use reasonable care to avoid any injuries that are foreseeable. Furthermore, they need inspect their property to find unsafe conditions. Often times, there are multiple parties who are liable to pay for your injury, such as both tenant and landlord. In situations where you are injured at work, you have a special right to be compensated. Under Illinois workers' compensation law, you can recover money for work-related injury without needing to show employer negligence. Further, you may also recover from a third party under the regular personal injury law. Examples of third party defendants are the owner of the property and the manufacturer of unsafe equipment. While you may recover much more compensation from third party suits, you will need to show that they committed negligence. If you were involved in an accident, please call my telephone number immediately!

Personal Injury
Personal injury lawsuit is a legal process through which you can get compensation from the people responsible for your injury. In a personal injury claim, you need to show that the defendant is liable and that you suffered personal damage. The defendant is found liable if he or she acted negligently in causing your injury. If you are a victim, you have the right to be compensated based on the extent and effect of the injury. My personal injury attorneys will help you get the highest amount of money under Illinois law!
Auto Accidents

Bankruptcy
Like most clients, you would probably opt for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy to eliminate most or all of your debts within a short period of time. Any assets that are considered non-exempt can be liquidated to pay part of your outstanding bills.
Foreclosure
While Chapter 13 bankruptcy may not be as quick as a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, it is the next best thing. Under a Chapter 13, you make a monthly payment to a court appointed trustee to pay some or all of your debts back based on what you can afford. Generally, you are able to keep all of your properties. Secured debts such as car loans can be conveniently paid off through the Chapter 13 plan. Filing a Chapter 13 will immediately stop lawsuits, garnishments, foreclosures, repossessions, tax levies and all other collection activity against you, including harassing phone calls and collection letters.
Debt Collection
It is important that you know your rights against collectors even before a bankruptcy is filed. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), debt collectors may not harass, oppress, or abuse you or any third parties they contact. An example of such harassments is when collectors use threats of violence to intimidate you. It is also harassment when collectors threaten to have you arrested for failure to pay. Even if you owe debt, you're still protected under the law. There are many other examples where debt collectors may be engaging in illegal practices when they try to collect a debt. Talk to me if you feel that you are a victim of collection abuse.
