Lombard Personal Injury Lawyers

Truck Accidents

Commercial truck crashes can lead to devastating injuries due to the size and weight of the vehicles involved. In Lombard and throughout DuPage County, heavily trafficked highways increase the risk of collisions involving semis, tractor-trailers, and delivery trucks. Victims often suffer spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, or multiple fractures, especially when passenger vehicles are involved. Recovering compensation may require legal action against the truck driver, trucking company, or a third party responsible for maintenance.

Car Accidents

Everyday drivers are also at risk of catastrophic injury when another motorist drives recklessly, is distracted, or is impaired by alcohol or drugs. High-speed collisions, head-on crashes, and rollover accidents can leave victims with permanent disabilities. Our knowledgeable attorneys can help demonstrate the other driver's negligence and ensure that insurance companies do not undervalue the claim.

Amazon Truck Accidents

As e-commerce continues to grow, so do the number of accidents involving Amazon delivery vehicles. These incidents may involve Amazon drivers rushing to meet tight delivery schedules or operating in unfamiliar neighborhoods. Proving liability in these cases can be complex due to the layered structure of contractors and third-party delivery services. Our personal injury lawyers can help untangle these relationships and hold the appropriate entities accountable.

Nursing Home Abuse and Negligence

When a loved one suffers a catastrophic injury due to abuse or neglect in a Lombard nursing home, legal action may be necessary to secure justice. Falls, untreated infections, bedsores, or even assault can lead to permanent injuries or a rapid decline in health. Filing claims against nursing homes requires understanding state and federal regulations governing elder care. Our skilled attorneys will conduct investigations, interview staff, and review facility records to build a strong case.

Medical Malpractice

Healthcare providers have a legal duty to uphold a certain standard of care. When a doctor, nurse, or hospital fails to meet that standard, the result can be devastating. Surgical errors, misdiagnoses, or medication mistakes may result in permanent brain damage, paralysis, or loss of limb. Proving malpractice requires extensive documentation, expert testimony, and a firm grasp of complex medical concepts—something our seasoned personal injury attorneys are prepared to handle.
