Experience Inside and Outside the Courtroom

In order for personal injury or wrongful death victims to be fully compensated, the lawyer representing them must have a strong track record of successfully trying cases in court. Any lawyer can settle cases and the Internet and Yellow Pages are filled with thousands of them. But full and fair settlements are paid by companies only when your lawyer is willing and able to try the case to verdict. It is only the credible threat of trial that keeps insurance companies honest and makes true justice possible.

At Kinnally Flaherty Krentz Loran & Masur P.C., our attorneys are among the best trial lawyers in Illinois. That recognition allows us to obtain favorable settlements without trial and, in some cases, without litigation. However, if the insurance company fails to do what is right voluntarily, we are ready to pursue justice inside the courtroom. We are soldiers in the struggle for justice. Fighting for you would be our highest honor.

If someone you love has been injured or killed by the negligence of others, you need an aggressive, experienced, and dedicated trial lawyer to fight for you. Our family of lawyers will help your family. We will be your voice until justice is heard. Please contact our personal injury and wrongful death litigation attorneys by calling 630-907-0909 today.

Automobile Negligence:

If you or someone close to you has been seriously injured in an auto accident in Illinois, you will need help navigating the complex road to justice. It is important to act quickly in order to preserve evidence and to understand your legal rights. During this financially and emotionally difficult time, insurance companies often take advantage of car accident victims by pressuring them to settle early and cheap, before they have a chance to appreciate the full extent of their injuries or learn the full scope of their rights. Before talking to the insurance company, be sure to speak with an experienced auto accident attorney.

Trucking Negligence:

Truck accidents are some of the most deadly incidents that occur on Illinois roadways. When semis or large trucks collide with other vehicles, serious injuries and fatalities are almost inevitable. In addition to the human devastation, accidents involving trucks create complex legal cases because of the technicalities and multiple parties involved. If you or a loved one has been injured in a trucking accident, it is important to obtain experienced and strong legal representation early on. Investigations must be conducted, and evidence must be preserved. These steps are vital to a successful outcome.

Medical Malpractice:

Medical negligence is widespread, deadly and often difficult to identify. Johns Hopkins University reports that diagnostic errors alone are responsible for 80,000 to 160,000 deaths in the United States each year. Despite the prevalence and human toll, medical negligence cases are some of the most difficult to prosecute and to prove. Multiple parties, complex issues and “a conspiracy of silence” contribute to this difficulty. If you or someone you know has been the victim of negligent medical care, it is essential to obtain an experienced and aggressive malpractice attorney. You will not have a chance without one.

Construction Negligence:

Construction is a dangerous activity. Workers, visitors, and passersby are at risk for serious injury or death as a result of construction site conditions and construction related activity. Construction injuries pose complex legal cases because of the multiple parties, legal principles and safety rules involved. If you or someone you know has been injured or killed in a construction accident, it is important to obtain experienced and strong legal representation early on. Investigations must be conducted and evidence must be preserved. Delay only makes your case more difficult.

Products Liability:

Consumers have a right to expect that the products they purchase will be safe as well as functional. Despite a regulatory process designed to improve safety, defective products flood the market every year. Often the danger is not discovered until after the product causes harm. If a dangerous or defective product causes injury or death, you may have a right to a product liability claim.

Premises Liability:

If you or someone close to you has been injured on the property of another person or business, you may be entitled to compensation. Serious or fatal injuries can occur because of unsafe conditions or negligent activity. When accidents like this happen, it is important to speak with an experienced premises liability attorney as quickly as possible. An early and thorough investigation is necessary to preserve evidence and to protect your legal rights.

Train and Plane Accidents:

Accidents involving trains and planes are uncommon, but they are almost always horrific and deadly. When these tragedies occur, the physical, emotional and financial toll is devastating. If a family member or loved one has been a victim of an airplane or train accident, it is essential that you hire experienced lawyers who can help you navigate the complex and difficult road to accountability and justice.

Nursing Home Negligence:

Families struggle every day with the need to place elderly and vulnerable loved ones into the care of nursing homes. These for-profit institutions have a legal duty to provide the supervision, attention and care that family members can no longer provide. That duty and trust are betrayed when loved ones are injured or killed by negligent staff or indifferent corporations. If your family has been a casualty of nursing home negligence, you need an experienced lawyer to fight for you.

Sexual Abuse:

Few wrongs are more traumatic or more damaging than sexual abuse. The intimate nature of this assault often leaves victims with psychological and emotional scars that are debilitating and lifelong. Holding the abuser accountable for his or her conduct is an important step in recovery. The first step is finding an attorney with the appropriate experience, understanding and compassion to help you on your journey.
