Waukegan Personal Injury Lawyer Seeks Justice for Victims

Illinois attorney pursues compensation for clients hurt by others’ negligence

After you’ve been hurt in a car crash, a fall on a wet restaurant floor or some other type of incident, you might experience not just physical problems but also financial pressure from healthcare expenses and from lost wages due to time missed at work while you recover. If someone else might have been responsible for your injury, Mark C. Curran Jr. Attorney at Law will work aggressively to secure the compensation you deserve. From my office in Waukegan, I represent clients throughout the Chicagoland area and other parts of Illinois in personal injury and wrongful death claims. My firm has achieved exceptional results for victims and their families in a wide range of cases. 

Skillful advocate handles cases involving vehicle crashes, slip and falls and other incidents

The statute of limitations for an Illinois personal injury lawsuit is usually two years, but waiting can make it more difficult to locate key witnesses and evidence, so you should not hesitate to retain an accomplished attorney to advocate in your behalf. In Lake County and throughout the area, we represent plaintiffs in injury claims associated with the following:

• Vehicle accidents — If you have been hurt in a car, truck, bicycle or motorcycle accident, we will review the evidence in painstaking detail to develop the strongest possible case that the other driver was at fault. 
• Slip and fall incidents — Businesses and other property owners that fail to remove or to warn about hazards can be held liable when a guest falls as a result of that dangerous condition. Even in situations where the victim is partly to blame, they can still collect damages as long as they are not more than 50 percent at fault for their injury.
• Defective products — Flaws in the design, manufacture or labeling of products can lead to serious injuries for unsuspecting consumers. We press to hold negligent companies accountable. 
• Dog bites — Under Illinois law, dog owners are responsible for harm suffered by bite victims, even if the animal had no history of aggressive behavior. 

We also assert the rights of Illinoisans in wrongful death and survivorship claims in situations where negligence or deliberate misconduct causes a fatality.

Types of damages you can receive in a personal injury lawsuit

There are many ways in which an injury can negatively affect your life. Though many claims settle, it is important to have an attorney who understands what types of damages might be available in order to negotiate from a position of strength. Generally, compensation is divided into two categories. Economic damages cover specific costs resulting from the injury, such as medical bills, lost income and rehabilitation expenses. You can also collect payment for non-economic damages that address harm not linked to precise monetary costs, such as pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life and permanent disfigurement. Our firm will thoroughly review the facts in your case and fight for an award or settlement that fully compensates you for what you’ve endured.
