Chicago Negligence Lawyers

A personal injury refers to harm caused by another’s negligence, recklessness or intentional harm. If you or a loved has suffered a personal injury or death and you suspect it was caused by the negligence of another personal or entity, please contact Patrick J. Kenneally, Ltd. today. You may be eligible to recover compensation for your losses.

Types of Chicago Negligence Cases

There are a variety of ways in which negligence can occur, causing serious injuries and death. Some of the most common cases involving negligence include:

  • Slip and fall accidents: A slip and fall accident occurs when someone literally slips and falls as the result of a dangerous condition on another’s premises.
  • Chicago Auto accidents: Auto accidents often occur because another driver negligently fails to pay attention to the road.
  • Dog bites: Dog owners are responsible for their dog’s actions and can be accused of negligence if they fail to protect those who come in contact with the dog.
  • Lead poisoning: Manufacturers have a responsibility to consumers. If the products contain toxic material such as lead, they can be held accountable for injuries sustained.
  • Defective products: Manufacturers of faulty products can be charged with negligence if they fail to ensure the safety of consumers who buy their products.
  • Doctor mistakes: When any member of the medical staff makes a mistake, it is usually because he or she was not paying attention to the details of the patient’s report.
  • Prescription errors: Prescription errors typically involve the wrong dose which can be fatal.

Recovering Compensation When Negligence Occurs in Chicago

If you or someone you love has suffered a personal injury in Chicago or death as the result of another’s negligence, you will most likely be eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit against the liable party(s). In cases involving negligence, it is important to hire an experienced personal injury lawyer who will be able to dig deep and find out exactly what happened and why.

After determining liability, an experienced personal injury attorney will be able to fight to ensure you receive compensation for losses including medical expenses, physical disfigurement, long-term disabilities, lost wages and emotional pain and suffering.

Our Responsibility

In our daily affairs we are all required to act reasonably so as to avoid causing harm to others through negligence.  For example, landowners must protect persons from foreseeable hazards on their property, dog owners must take steps to curb dangerous animals, and construction sites must be overseen with safety in mind.  Monetary compensation is due when one breaches a responsibility owed to another and causes injury or death. 

Our firm has successfully represented persons injured due to slip and falls, dangerous construction sites, and dog attacks.  We also regularly represent persons injured due to medical negligence, motor vehicle negligence and manufacturing/product design negligence, practice areas described in more detail elsewhere on our website.
