Personal Injury

Kaufman Legal Group provides injury and workers’ compensation services, including automobile accidents, slip and fall accidents, premises liability, dog bites, medical malpractice, nursing home negligence, construction negligence, wrongful death cases, products liability, and all other vehicle, premise, work or and products-related accidents/injuries. Injuries sustained in accidents range from whiplash to fractured bones, ligament/muscular injuries, debilitating spinal injuries, disfigurement, mental trauma, and death. It is imperative that injured parties immediately seek counsel from an attorney to preserve witnesses, evidence, and all legal rights.

Five Things To Do If You Have Been Injured:

  1. Get emergency medical treatment right away.
  2. Do not make statements to police or insurance companies before talking to an attorney.
  3. Preserve evidence: Take pictures, keep track of the location of a wrecked car and get contact information for eyewitnesses.
  4. Work closely with your doctors as you focus on getting well.
  5. Beware of accepting early settlement offers before your ultimate prognosis has been determined. Keep communication channels open with your personal injury lawyer, who can help you make the right decisions for your financial recovery.

The laws in Illinois are clear. If another party is responsible for causing your accident or contributing to the extent of your personal injuries, you are entitled to seek full and fair money damages. Personal injuries can vary widely, and often include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, fractures, soft tissue injuries, or even simple bumps and bruises. Negligent parties are responsible for payment either through their insurance companies or directly, in the event policy coverage is insufficient for the damages.

The knowledgeable personal injury attorneys at Kaufman Legal Group can meet with you to discuss your case and may pursue monetary compensation on your behalf—whether that be via settlement, litigation, trial, or alternative dispute resolution.
