Our Illinois personal injury lawyers can help you with all sorts of personal injury cases and accidents. Our lawyers have direct experience in many of these types of cases, but we can also help with other types of injury cases not listed here.
If you were hit by a car, truck, bus, taxi, Uber/Lyft, etc., our personal injury lawyers can help you get compensation for your injuries. Whether you were driving in another car at the time of the accident or you were on foot or riding a bike, our lawyers can help you file the insurance claims and lawsuits necessary to get your damages paid in full.
Injuries on someone else’s property caused by unsafe conditions or a failure to post proper warning signs can sometimes lead to serious injuries. Broken bones, cuts and scrapes, or even serious back and head injuries can result from these accidents. Slip and falls or trip and falls are some of the most common types of accidents on someone else’s property. Nonetheless, injuries can also be caused by collapsing or falling structures, falls from heights, dangerous stairs or escalators, electrocution, and fire hazards.
Direct injuries caused by medical professionals are somewhat rare. Still, patients across Illinois face dangerous side effects, worsened conditions, and longer recovery times because of mistakes that fall under the umbrella of medical negligence or medical malpractice. Misdiagnosis, surgical errors, birth injuries, medication errors, and hospital negligence are some of the most common forms of medical malpractice.
When you are injured at work, there may be special rules about how to resolve your injury case. Our Illinois personal injury lawyers can help you file lawsuits against third parties who might have been responsible for your injuries, such as negligent equipment manufacturers or other third parties. Our attorneys also help injured construction workers, who are often exposed to dangers and hazards at their work sites that can leave them with serious injuries and disabilities.
Victims of nursing home abuse often have trouble bringing their claims against the corporations and institutions that operate nursing homes. Our Illinois personal injury lawyers seek to help victims and their families collect evidence of the abuse and bring cases to get our clients the damages they deserve for physical abuse, mental/emotional abuse, and neglect in nursing homes.
Our Illinois personal injury lawyers also handle wrongful death cases to help the families of those taken too soon recover compensation that can help their family move forward. After the death of a loved one, you could be left with substantial medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, ongoing lost wages, and other damages that you deserve compensation for.
To bring a personal injury case, there are a few basic elements that our attorneys will need to be able to prove. These four elements make up the basis of a “negligence” lawsuit – different elements are used when suing for things like assault and battery.
For someone to be held liable for injuries that they caused another person, there must be some legal duty that they breached. Generally, people do not owe each other a legal duty other than the duty to refrain from intentionally injuring them. However, once there is some relationship between the parties, there are usually legal duties that come with that relationship. The clearest example is the duty a doctor owes a patient, but there are also duties between a property owner and a guest, a product manufacturer and the buyer, and even two drivers sharing the road.
For the defendant to be liable for the accident, they must have done something wrong that breached the duty. If they did everything they were supposed to do, but you were injured nonetheless, there might not be a case there. However, when someone fails to use the proper care or skill that their duty requires, they can be held responsible for the results of their mistakes.
Our Illinois personal injury lawyers will need to prove that the defendant’s breach of duty was what actually led to your injuries. If someone else’s intervening actions actually caused your injuries, then we might want to sue that party instead. Additionally, if the accident would have been unavoidable, then it is hard to blame the defendant for the accident. Our attorneys will take care to make sure we prove this essential element of your claim.
For your case to succeed, you must have suffered some harm. Generally, injury cases involve economic damages such as the medical bills and lost wages that result from an injury. Our attorneys also often fight for non-economic damages for our clients, such as the pain and suffering you experienced because of the accident.

Don is a founding partner and one of the nation’s top-ranked personal injury litigators. He is a member of the Multi-million Dollar Advocates Forum, which includes less than 1% of the nation’s trial lawyers, and awarded the highest ranking given by Martindale Hubbel and AVVO.
More importantly, Don understands representing personal injury victims is about more than recovering the best settlement: it’s about helping clients get back on their feet and supporting them in every aspect of their recovery.
In nearly all cases, our clients seek compensation from the wrongdoer’s insurance company. Before forming Wruck Paupore, Jason worked for a prominent law firm representing some of the world’s largest insurers. This experience gives Jason a deep understanding of the insurance industry and the strategies it uses to pay injury victims as little as possible.
Jason -- and our entire team -- put this inside knowledge to work to force insurance companies to pay what is actually owed. Often, we use the insurance company’s own tactics against them as we fight for the full compensation our client deserves.
For more than four decades, Keith has been fighting for injury victims. During that time, he’s watched the insurance industry change, with insurers now more interested in protecting their stock price than treating injury victims fairly.
Since the beginning, Keith has put people first. From his childhood in Gary, Indiana during the 1960’s and working his way through law school, Keith has risen to become one of the Midwest’s most respected trial lawyers. He has never forgotten that being a lawyer is about helping people -- and seeing injury victims through struggles in a way that could change their lives forever.
Over the decades, Keith, Don and Jason have fought relentlessly for clients, even when other lawyers have said the case was impossible to win.
