Comprehensive Personal Injury Representation
As your Personal Injury Attorney in Peoria, we offer comprehensive representation across a wide range of personal injury cases:
Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can result from various accidents, including car crashes, falls, and sports injuries. These injuries often have long-term consequences, affecting cognitive function, emotional stability, and overall quality of life. Our team works to secure compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation, and ongoing care needs.
Spinal Cord Injury
Spinal cord injuries can result in partial or complete paralysis, dramatically altering a person’s life. These injuries often require extensive medical treatment, including surgery, rehabilitation, and long-term care. Our firm works diligently to secure compensation that addresses the full scope of these life-changing injuries, from immediate medical costs to long-term care needs.
Burn Injury
Burn injuries can range from minor to life-threatening and may result in significant scarring, disfigurement, and emotional trauma. We handle cases involving fires, explosions, chemical burns, and electrical burns. We aim to ensure you receive compensation for medical treatment, reconstructive surgery, pain and suffering, and psychological support.
Dog Bite
Dog bites can lead to serious injuries, including infections, nerve damage, and emotional trauma. Illinois law holds dog owners strictly liable for injuries caused by their pets in most situations. We represent victims of dog bites, seeking compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, and any psychological impacts.
Catastrophic Injury
Catastrophic injuries include severe and life-altering injuries such as amputations, multiple fractures, and permanent disabilities. These injuries often require extensive medical treatment and long-term care. We work to secure compensation that covers medical expenses, loss of income, and the cost of future care, ensuring our clients can live as fully as possible despite their injuries.
Construction Accident
Construction sites are inherently dangerous, with numerous potential hazards. Accidents can involve falls from heights, equipment malfunctions, and exposure to harmful substances. Our attorneys have experience navigating the complexities of construction accident cases, working to hold negligent parties accountable and secure compensation for injuries sustained on the job.
