Chicago Personal Injury Lawyers

An accident that causes serious injury can have lasting repercussions on your life and the lives of your family members. Many people do not realize that following a serious accident, injuries and impairment may last long after just the initial hospital stay, often affecting the individual’s ability to work and provide for themselves and their families.

With that in mind, it is clear that choosing an attorney is one of the most important decisions an injured individual and their family can make. When it comes to handling serious injury cases, experience matters and compassion is key. You need someone who understands what you are going through, and knows the long-term struggles that you may face if you do not get the compensation you rightfully deserve. You also need a lawyer who can explain the often complicated and confusing legal process, and can help reassure you in times of doubt and stress.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA), 31 million people are hurt in accidents each year and require treatment for their injuries. Two million of those individuals were seriously hurt and needed to be transported by emergency personnel to a local hospital for treatment. Out of that group, 162,000 of those accidents proved to be fatal.

• There are 3 million injury accidents on U.S. roadways each year, and 40,000 of those injury accidents prove to be fatal. 60,000 injuries are directly related to 18-wheeler and large commercial vehicles in the United States, and those accidents kill nearly 5,000 people every year.
• 300,000 workers are injured on construction sites on a yearly basis, and 1,000 workers die as a result of accidents at work.
• Finally, medical malpractice claims the lives of nearly 100,000 people every year in the United States.

The Illinois Department of Public Health reports that there are approximately 1,200 nursing home facilities in the state, housing more than 100,000 residents. Studies currently show that some form of abuse has been discovered in 30% of all nursing homes across the United States. This often can be attributed to understaffing (90% do not have enough staff to provide adequate care), poor training, and low salaries for employees (the average salary for a certified nursing care assistant is $23,193 per year). Nevertheless, the mistreatment of nursing home residents is inexcusable. Victims and their families are able fight back, and Karlin, Fleisher & Falkenberg, LLC can help.
