Personal Injury Cases

  • The Firm obtained a $100,000.00 personal injury judgment against two companies that operated a bar in west suburban
    Lemont.  Our client suffered multiple ankle fractures after falling on a wet floor inside the entrance of the bar while
    playing a coin operated game. The property owner failed to remove slush and snow that was tracked into the entry area
    of the bar. The case proceeded in Cook County.  (April 2010; Daniel Fabbri)    

  • The Firm successfully negotiated a $40,000.00 settlement on behalf of a personal injury client injured in an automobile
    accident.  Our client was injured when the car she was driving was stuck by a school bus that pulled out in front of her
    while she was traveling through an intersection.  Our client suffered soft tissue injuries that required therapy.  As an
    additional benefit to our client, who did not have health insurance, we were able to successfully resolve every healthcare
    lien filed against her case, resulting in a greater recovery to our client.  (April 2010; Daniel Fabbri)

  • The Firm recovered $200,000 for a mother and daughter who were severely injured in an automobile crash.  The accident

    (the policy limit of the responsible party’s insurance) and was settled and paid six months after the incident occurred in
    Naperville, Illinois.  (May 2009; Daniel Fabbri)

    Illinois Appellate Court upheld that verdict in January, 2010.  Our firm represented a young man seriously injured when
    the car he was riding in, which was driven by an intoxicated driver, struck a tree.  The driver’s intoxication was the
    result of being over served alcohol by the Defendant.  We also represented the young man’s mother, who suffered
    financial injury as she no longer received financial support from her son after the crash, as he was no longer able to
    work.    (February 2009; Daniel Fabbri)

    care following an abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery.   After a one week trial the twelve person jury deliberated only
    four hours before returning the unanimous verdict in our client’s favor. (March 2008; Edward Manzke, Aaron Rapier,
    Daniel Fabbri)

    against the college, alleging it was negligent in its provision of campus security. The verdict is a record high for Knox
