When life takes an unexpected turn due to an accident or injury caused by someone else's negligence, it is critical to have the right legal team in place. Schwartz Injury Law is committed to providing each client with the aggressive and compassionate legal representation they need in Des Plaines, Illinois. With numerous successes in personal injury cases, including a $19.2 million award in a wrongful death case, we have the experience needed to recover full and fair compensation for our clients.

Wrongful Death

The loss of a loved one due to another party's negligence is devastating. Schwartz Injury Law helps families with wrongful death claims, working to ensure that they can recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of income, emotional suffering, and other ways they have been affected by these tragic situations.

Medical Malpractice

When doctors or other medical professionals fail to meet the accepted standards as they provide treatment, the aftermath can be unbearable for patients. Our attorneys can help address many different forms of medical malpractice, including surgical errors, misdiagnoses, birth injuries, and medication mistakes. We work with medical experts to evaluate these cases and hold negligent healthcare providers accountable for the harm patients have suffered.

Defective Products

Schwartz Injury Law represents victims of defective products, including faulty medical devices, unsafe vehicles, and hazardous consumer goods. Dangerous products can cause severe injuries or fatalities when they fail to function safely. We pursue claims against manufacturers, designers, and distributors to recover damages for injuries caused by negligence in the product supply chain.

Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse

People who live and receive care in nursing homes deserve to be treated respectfully and attentively. Sadly, neglect and abuse occur far too often, leading to malnutrition, falls, trauma, and even death. We represent victims and their families, working to hold facilities and staff members accountable for their misconduct.

Truck Accidents

We investigate truck accidents to identify all liable parties, including drivers, trucking companies, and maintenance providers. Our attorneys work to help victims recover full compensation for medical expenses, loss of wages or future income, and other damages they have suffered in dangerous collisions.

Car Accidents

Distracted driving, speeding, or impaired driving can leave victims of car accidents with significant injuries and financial burdens. Schwartz Injury Law helps each client to navigate insurance claims, negotiate settlements, and, when necessary, litigate their cases to secure full compensation.

Identifying Responsible Parties and Holding Them Liable

In personal injury cases, holding the right parties accountable is critical. We conduct thorough investigations to establish that injuries were caused by negligence, using evidence such as police reports, medical records, expert testimony, and witness statements to help our clients secure the compensation they deserve.

Potential negligent parties may include but are not limited to:

• Individuals: Drivers, property owners, or medical professionals whose actions directly caused harm
• Employers: Trucking companies, construction firms, or nursing homes that failed to enforce safety protocols or provide proper training
• Corporations: Manufacturers and distributors responsible for defective products
• Government Entities: Municipalities that neglected to maintain safe roadways or public spaces

By building strong cases and leveraging our vast legal knowledge, we work to ensure that all liable parties are held accountable for the harm caused.
