Kankakee County Personal Injury Lawyer

Attorney for Car Accident Lawsuits in  Bourbonnais, Kankakee, and Bradley

Many "accidents" can actually be attributed to someone's carelessness, negligence, or even intentional misconduct. For example:

• A distracted driver rear-ends your car, leaving you with severe neck and back injuries.
• A gym operator fails to maintain safe conditions, resulting in someone being injured by faulty equipment or in a fall.
• Negligent staff hiring and supervision results in nursing home neglect or abuse.
• A careless owner lets their pet run loose, resulting in a child suffering severe dog bite wounds.
• Medical error at a hospital birthing center results in brain damage to a newborn baby.

If you have been a victim of another party's negligence, you would be wise to consult a personal injury lawyer to understand your legal options. Under Illinois law, if you bear less than 50% of the fault for the accident, you should be entitled to financial compensation from the party or parties who bear the majority of the fault.
