Personal Injury Attorney Chicago

Personal injuries are unfortunately common and can impact every area of your life. Even a seemingly minor injury can prevent you from working or engaging in your usual hobbies and activities while requiring ongoing medical care. At Saks Robinson & Rittenberg, we know that while they may be attributed to ‘accidents,’ personal injuries often occur due to the reckless and negligent actions of others. As Chicago personal injury attorneys with more than 75 years of combined experience, we work hard to help victims in these cases get compensation for the damages they suffer.   

The Impact of Personal Injuries

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), personal injuries impact roughly one out of every 10 people each year and are a leading cause of death and disability in the U.S. Even a minor injury with no immediate symptoms can end up causing long term impairment while costing you significant amounts of money in medical bills.  

At Saks Robinson & Rittenberg, we help injured clients get the compensation they need to cover their current costs and any future expenses they are likely to incur. Our Chicago personal injury attorney represents people in the following types of cases:  

• Motor vehicle accidents;
• Collisions involving pedestrians and bicyclists;
• Slip, trip, and fall accidents;
• Premises liability cases;
• Homeowner claims;
• Swimming pool accidents;
• Sports and recreational injuries;
• Dangerous and defective products;
• Animal bites and attacks. 

Whenever any type of accident or mishap occurs, you should report it at once to the proper authorities and seek medical attention immediately to protect your rights in a claim. 

Our Chicago Personal Injury Attorneys Can Help You Recover

When injuries occur as the result of the above, it is often others who are to blame. In this situation, you may be entitled to compensation through either an insurance settlement or a personal injury lawsuit. At Saks Robinson & Rittenberg, our decades of experience make us a strong advocate on your behalf when negotiating with insurers. In the event a settlement cannot be reached, we can pursue your case in court. Under the Illinois Statutes, damages you may be entitled to in a claim include: 

• Current and future medical expenses;
• Lost wages and future losses in income or benefits;
• Pain, suffering, and mental anguish;
• Punitive damages, meant to punish the at fault party.
