Legal Help With Motor Vehicle Accidents in Glen Ellyn

Car crashes and other motor vehicle collisions can result in multiple types of serious injuries. Traffic in the Glen Ellyn area can be very heavy, and accidents often occur on Interstate 88, Interstate 355, Route 56 (Butterfield Road), Route 38 (Roosevelt Road), Highway 53, and other roads and highways throughout DuPage County. Our attorneys can provide representation for people who have been injured in multiple types of collisions, including:

• Car Accidents: Distracted driving, reckless driving, speeding, and other traffic violations often lead to collisions. We work to ensure that negligent drivers are held responsible for injuries suffered by others in accidents.
• Truck Accidents: Crashes involving commercial trucks can result in catastrophic injuries. These incidents may involve driver fatigue, drunk driving, speeding, improper maintenance, or falling cargo. We can address violations of trucking regulations or other forms of negligence by truck drivers, trucking companies, or other parties.
• Motorcycle Accidents: Riders are vulnerable to severe injuries in collisions, particularly when other drivers fail to yield or do not notice them in traffic. We work to help injured motorcyclists recover compensation from negligent drivers who caused them to suffer injuries.
• Pedestrian Accidents: People who are struck by vehicles while crossing the road or in other situations are likely to suffer serious bodily harm. These accidents can take place in parking lots or crosswalks, or people may be struck by vehicles while walking in residential neighborhoods. Our lawyers work to ensure that injured pedestrians can receive the compensation they deserve.

Addressing Harm Caused by Medical Malpractice

Doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals are expected to provide care that meets the appropriate standards. When they fail to do so, patients can suffer severe consequences. Medical malpractice can take many forms, including:

• Surgical Errors: Patients may suffer harm when incorrect procedures are performed or when mistakes are made during surgery.
• Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Doctors who fail to identify serious medical conditions in a timely manner may be responsible for the harm suffered by patients as a result.
• Medication Errors: Administering the wrong medication or dosage, prescribing drugs that cause harmful interactions, or other errors related to medications can put the health of patients at risk.

If you or a loved one have suffered harm while receiving treatment at GlenOaks Medical Center, Central DuPage Hospital, Edward Hospital, or another healthcare facility in the Glen Ellyn area, our attorneys can review your case and determine whether medical negligence occurred. We will work to ensure that you can recover compensation for your financial losses, physical pain and suffering, and the emotional toll of a traumatic medical experience.

Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse

When placing a family member in a nursing home, you expect that they will be treated with dignity and respect and provided with the appropriate medical care. Sadly, some long-term care facilities fail to meet even basic standards. Nursing home residents may suffer harm due to nursing home negligence, including:

• Bedsores and Infections: Poor hygiene or failure to attend to patients' needs can lead to serious injuries or health issues that may put the life of an elderly nursing home resident at risk.
• Falls and Fractures: Residents may be seriously injured due to inadequate supervision or unsafe premises.
• Medication Mistakes: When medications are not administered correctly, nursing home patients may experience harm due to overdoses, missed doses, or harmful drug interactions.
• Emotional or Physical Abuse: Staff members may mistreat residents, or they may fail to provide the supervision needed to prevent abuse. Signs of abuse may include unexplained injuries, withdrawal, or fearfulness around nursing home staff.

Our attorneys help families identify negligence and take action against nursing homes that have failed to protect the safety and health of residents. We work to ensure that these families can receive compensation for a person's injuries, medical treatment, and pain and suffering.
