Chicago Personal Injury Lawyers
Personal injury occurs whenever someone is harmed by another party’s negligence. Regardless of intent, whenever someone is physically or emotionally harmed because of the reckless or careless acts of another party, they have the right to seek damages. In personal injury cases, the injured party has the right to compensation for medical expenses, damage to personal property, loss of wages/earning capacity, pain and suffering, loss of consortium/companionship and in some cases punitive damages.
HM&M has a strong track record of successfully representing clients in personal injury cases. These cases can become quite complicated often involving multiple parties with teams of high-priced attorneys trying to muddy the waters and limit their clients’ liability. It pays to have an experienced legal team in your corner that will conduct a thorough investigation and build a strong case on your behalf.
