Compassionate Chicago Personal Injury Attorney

There can be difficulties in getting a valid injury claim paid if you do not have a capable and experienced lawyer assisting you. Insurance companies are reluctant to pay out the maximum possible compensation and if they are aware that you do not have representation, can deny certain types of valid claims for compensation or make low offers of settlement. It is important that you protect your right to fair and full compensation for all the damages you or your loved one have experienced, including medical costs, ambulance bills, rehabilitation, hospital costs, transportation, loss of wages, future predicted financial losses as well as pain and suffering and others, based upon the specifics of your case.

Our legal team carefully protects the rights of our clients in all types of personal injury cases, including but not limited to auto accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, drunk driver accidents, and all other traffic collisions. We understand that these types of accidents often result in catastrophic injuries, and we want to do anything we can to help you recover the financial compensation you need after this type of accident has occurred. If you have suffered from any type of serious injury, including back and neck injuries, spinal cord injuries, or traumatic brain injuries, we are ready to help. We assist our clients in seeking compensation in cases of injury from defective or dangerous products, or product liability, such as defective children’s toys, automotive parts or even a defective medical device. No matter what has caused your injury, our law firm is ready to review your case today.

Here at our personal injury law office, we handle cases involving animal attacks and dog bites, and all other premises liability related accidents. If your family member suffered from nursing home abuse or neglect, we can help you file a claim and hold the negligent party responsible for their unlawful and wrongful actions. We also handle claims involving security negligence, slip and fall, trip and fall, elevator and escalator accidents, and other types of injuries sustained on public or federal property. When a family has lost a loved one, a wrongful death claim must be filed on behalf of the close family members. We also represent clients in cases of child injuries, medical malpractice and birth injuries. If you have suffered any kind of burn injury, from a first degree burn to a third degree burn, we can review your claim and fight on your behalf. Lastly, we also handle cases related to work injuries and workers’ compensation, such as machinery accidents, scaffolding accidents, and construction site accidents, in addition to job discrimination and harassment and cases of emotional distress from a variety of causes.

With over 30 years in practice, our accomplished legal team has proven results and unmatched commitment to our clients. We press for a fast, fair settlement and our case preparation and documentation usually results in avoiding taking the case to court. If the insurance company fails to satisfy a valid claim, we are prepared to take the case to the next level and seek satisfaction in court. We are committed to relentlessly protecting the rights of the injured and their families, and offer a free case evaluation to assist you in getting information about your claim and how to proceed.

Common Examples of Personal Injury Cases

  • Car Accidents: With such a large population in the Chicagoland area and surrounding suburbs, it’s not surprising that there are many car accidents that occur on a daily basis. The Illinois Department of Transportation notes that there are roughly 772 car accidents in the state of Illinois every day. If you have been injured in a car accident due to someone else’s negligence, it is important that you contact our team in a timely manner.
  • Slip and Fall accidents: The potential for a slip and fall accident in Chicagoland is seemingly endless. Parking lots, grocery stores, and uneven sidewalks are just a handful of examples that may result in an injury. Store owners and other property managers are held responsible for maintaining their land and ensuring that it is safe for the public. If they are not able to fix their property in a reasonable amount of time, they must, at the very least, warn the public of the potential dangers.
  • Workers’ Compensation: Becoming injured on the job is the last thing that you want to happen. Workers’ compensation is designed to help keep employers accountable for injuries that are caused at the workplace. While you may feel weird filing a case against your employer, don’t deprive yourself of your rights.
  • Dog Bites: Dogs are everywhere in Chicago, and if you’re a dog lover, it’s tempting to go up to every dog you see and pet them. However, dogs don’t always have predictable behavior, so it is important to ask the owner before petting the dog. If you were attacked by a dog in any way, you could be entitled to compensation.
  • Nursing Home Neglect & Abuse: As our loved ones get older, we may turn to professionals to help take care of them with daily tasks. Unfortunately, nursing home abuse is more common than you may think. If you believe that your loved one is suffering from mistreatment, that qualifies as a personal injury case.

FAQ

  • Do I need an attorney after a car accident in which I was injured?

    If you don’t have a skilled Chicago personal injury attorney assisting you, it is likely that you will get a much lower settlement. Even insurance company studies indicate that those who have legal representation usually get much higher settlements. When a case goes to court and the liable party is contesting the lawsuit or claim, you want to ensure that the legal team representing you has the proven courtroom experience you need to successfully litigate complex cases, such as medical malpractice, catastrophic injury cases, and others. Our legal team at Steven J. Morton & Associates Ltd. has over 60 years collective experience in such cases.

  • How much will my claim be worth?

    Each situation is different and should be evaluated as soon after the injury as possible. There is a statute of limitations in the state that restricts the time frame in which you can legally file for damages, or for a wrongful death. We offer a free case evaluation and can advise you how we believe the case will likely resolve, both financially and in the length of time before the payment is made.

  • How do I know how to choose an attorney in an injury case?

    Many law firms have a large variety of practice areas, and may not focus on personal injury. There is no substitute for actual experience. When a law firm with a huge variety of practice areas files a personal injury claim, they could even call our firm for assistance, whereas you can contact us directly.

  • What types of injury cases does your firm handle?

    We assist our clients who have been injured in a variety of ways, including auto accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, drunk driver accidents, catastrophic injuries, back and neck injuries, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, defective or dangerous products, dog bites, nursing home abuse and neglect, premises liability, product liability, security negligence, slip and fall, trip and fall, wrongful death, child injuries, medical malpractice, birth injuries, burn injuries, machinery accidents, scaffolding accidents, work injuries & compensation, construction site accidents, job discrimination and harassment, and emotional distress.

From Avvo
I found Steve Morton, because I was firing my previous attorney who was handling my Mother's accident case. The previous attorney was horrible -- a typically arrogant lawyer, and one who did not respect his clients. Given I come from a lineage of attorneys, I know that not all of them think they're God and behave that way. So I got referrals to some new attorneys, interviewed them, and settled on Steve Morton. And I couldn't be happier with how he handled our accident case. He believed in the case, and was willing to fight it as far as needed. In a nutshell, my Mother was walking in a parking lot and struck by a car backing out of a parking space. What should be a slam dunk personal injury case, but the driver didn't have insurance and was driving on a suspended license. While not struck hard, my Mother's injuries were significant enough, given her elderly age. This accident led to a downward spiral of her health, resulting in her death 19 months later. And because of the amount of time that passed, linking her death with the accident was not a simple matter. Furthermore, she had some pre-existing issues, which the insurance company attempted to use against her. Due to the driver being 19 years old, with no assets whatsoever, our only recourse was to recover medical costs and out-of-pocket expenses from my Mother's own insurance company, under her Uninsured Coverage. That company was Liberty Mutual (a really dishonest and sleazy company), who low-balled us continually, attempting to pay out as little as possible on their insured. Our refusal to accept their paltry offers moved into litigation. After 4 years, we finally got our day in court. (The delay was not Mr. Morton's fault; it was Liberty Mutual, as well as the previous firm dragging their feet.) A panel of 3 judges heard the case, which took nearly an entire day. When the verdict came in a couple weeks later, ALL 3 judges had reached agreement in our favor -- even the judge selected by Liberty Mutual to represent them. So what did Liberty Mutual do? They rejected the award -- which they have the prerogative to do with Illinois law -- and attempted to low-ball us again to make us go away. I refused their insulting offer once again, and all credit here goes to Steve Morton, who stood by us and played hardball with the insurance company. Without going into major detail, he fought back their rejection of the Award, and after some back and forth legal jujitsu, Liberty Mutual caved in, settling for about 99% of the Award by the 3 judges. Not only because of this outcome, but having been through some previous accident cases, I can frankly say that Mr. Morton did a fantastic job. Just fantastic. Had we not successfully fought Liberty Mutual's rejection of the Award, he was willing to take this to a jury trial, which was my next desired step. Should I ever need an attorney again, I would not hesitate to call him and have him handle my case. Thank you, Mr. Morton, for believing in our case, for handling it, and for bringing it to a successful conclusion.  
From Avvo and Yelp
A car ran a stop sign and there was nothing I could do to stop that car from crashing into my vehicle. The collision caused serious injuries to my knee. Ultimately, I had surgery to repair the damage caused by the accident. Not only did Mr. Morton win my case, but he also made sure that I always knew about everything that was going on in the case. Steven J. Morton & Associates also won cases for my wife and her two sisters. They are winners that will not keep you in the dark. Thanks Mr. Morton.
