I'll never forget meeting with a family at a coffee shop off Weber Road in Romeoville whose teenage daughter had been seriously injured in a car accident at the intersection of Route 53 and 135th Street. The driver who caused the crash had run a red light while texting, and their daughter was facing months of physical therapy, mounting medical bills, and the very real possibility she'd miss her senior year of high school. The family had already received calls from insurance adjusters asking them to give recorded statements and sign forms they didn't understand. They felt overwhelmed and weren't sure where to turn.
As a Romeoville personal injury law firm, I've helped hundreds of families navigate these exact situations. When you've been injured through someone else's negligence—whether it's a car crash on I-55, a slip and fall at a local business, or an injury at work—your life is suddenly turned upside down. You're dealing with pain, medical appointments, lost wages, and insurance companies that seem more interested in protecting their profits than helping you recover.
For almost 30 years, I've dedicated my career to fighting for injury victims throughout Will County and the surrounding areas. Whether you're in Romeoville, Bolingbrook, Plainfield, or Joliet, you deserve an attorney who will fight tirelessly for the compensation you're entitled to. Here's my promise: no money out of pocket, and no fee until we win your case. I also offer free consultations 24/7/365—because injuries don't happen on a convenient schedule, and you shouldn't have to wait for business hours to get the legal help you need.
Personal injury law covers a wide range of accidents and injuries caused by someone else's negligence or wrongful conduct. My firm handles virtually every type of personal injury case that occurs in and around Romeoville.
Car accidents are among the most common cases I handle. Romeoville's location at the intersection of I-55 and Route 53 means heavy traffic volume and, unfortunately, frequent accidents. I've represented clients injured in collisions on the interstate, at busy intersections like Weber Road and Normantown, and in parking lots throughout the area. Whether you've been rear-ended, hit by a distracted driver, or injured in a multi-vehicle pileup, I know how to build a strong case and fight for maximum compensation.
Given Romeoville's proximity to major highways and distribution centers, truck accidents are a serious concern. Commercial truck crashes often result in catastrophic injuries due to the size and weight difference between trucks and passenger vehicles. These cases are complex because they may involve multiple defendants—the truck driver, the trucking company, maintenance providers, and others. I have the experience and resources to handle these challenging cases.
Motorcyclists face unique dangers on Romeoville roads, and when accidents happen, the injuries are often severe. I've fought for riders who've been injured when drivers failed to see them, turned left in front of them, or knocked them off their bikes through careless driving. Motorcycle accident cases require an attorney who understands the bias some insurance companies and juries have against riders—I know how to overcome these prejudices and prove your case.
Property owners in Romeoville have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. When they fail to fix hazards like icy sidewalks, uneven pavement, poor lighting, or spills in stores, people get hurt. I've handled slip and fall cases at retail stores, restaurants, grocery stores, and other businesses throughout the area. These cases require proving the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition—something I've successfully done many times.
If you've been injured on the job at one of Romeoville's warehouses, distribution centers, construction sites, or other workplaces, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits. These benefits should cover your medical expenses and a portion of your lost wages, but insurance companies often try to deny valid claims or minimize what they pay. I help injured workers navigate the workers' compensation system and fight for the benefits they deserve.
Illinois law holds dog owners strictly liable for injuries their dogs cause, meaning you don't have to prove the owner was negligent or knew the dog was dangerous. If you or your child has been bitten or attacked by a dog in Romeoville, you have the right to compensation for medical treatment, scarring, and trauma. I've handled numerous dog bite cases and know how to maximize recovery for these often-traumatic injuries.

Whether your loved one is in a facility near Weber Road, off Route 53, or anywhere in the Romeoville area, you have the right to answers and justice.

When someone's negligence causes a death, Illinois law allows certain family members to bring a wrongful death claim. These are the most heartbreaking cases I handle, but also some of the most important. While no amount of money can bring back your loved one, compensation can help your family with funeral expenses, lost financial support, and the enormous emotional loss you've suffered. I handle these sensitive cases with the compassion they deserve while fighting aggressively for justice.
When you're injured, choosing the right attorney can make the difference between a settlement that barely covers your bills and one that truly compensates you for everything you've lost.
I know Romeoville because I've worked here for years. I'm familiar with the dangerous intersections, the local courts, and the insurance companies that handle most claims in this area. This local knowledge gives me an advantage in building your case and negotiating with adjusters who know I'm not afraid to take cases to trial in Will County.
For almost 30 years, I've been fighting for injured people throughout the Chicago area and Will County. This experience means I've seen virtually every defense tactic, every insurance company strategy, and every type of injury case. I use this knowledge to anticipate problems and build stronger cases from day one.
The last thing you need when you're injured is to worry about how you'll afford an attorney. That's why I work on a contingency fee basis—you don't pay me anything unless I recover compensation for you. I advance all costs of investigating and litigating your case, so you're never out of pocket for expenses. If we don't win, you don't owe me anything.
Injuries don't happen during business hours, and neither should access to legal help. I'm available around the clock to take your call, answer your questions, and start working on your case. Whether it's a Tuesday afternoon or a Sunday night, if you need help, I'm here.
When you hire me, you're not just a case number. I take the time to understand your unique situation, your injuries, and how this accident has impacted your life. I keep you informed throughout the process, return your calls promptly, and treat you with the respect and compassion you deserve.
The steps you take immediately after an injury can significantly impact your ability to recover compensation. First and foremost, seek medical attention right away, even if your injuries seem minor. Some serious injuries don't show immediate symptoms, and delayed treatment gives insurance companies ammunition to argue you weren't really hurt.
Document everything you can. Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any conditions that contributed to the accident. Get contact information for witnesses. If it's a car accident, call the police and get a report. If it's a slip and fall, report it to the property owner or manager and make sure an incident report is filed.
Keep detailed records of all medical treatment, prescriptions, medical bills, and how your injuries have affected your daily life. Save documentation of lost wages and any other expenses related to your injury.
Don't give recorded statements to insurance companies or sign any documents without talking to an attorney first. Insurance adjusters are trained to get you to say things that hurt your claim, even when they seem friendly and helpful.
Most importantly, contact a Romeoville personal injury law firm as soon as possible. Evidence disappears quickly, witnesses' memories fade, and Illinois has strict deadlines for filing personal injury claims. Early legal representation protects your rights and strengthens your case.
Many people don't realize the full scope of compensation they're entitled to after an injury. Medical expenses are just the beginning—you can also recover for lost wages, reduced earning capacity if you can't return to your previous work, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and permanent disability or scarring.
In Illinois, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, though some exceptions apply. This might sound like plenty of time, but building a strong case takes time, and you don't want to wait until the deadline is approaching to get legal help.
Insurance companies will try to settle your claim quickly, often before you even know the full extent of your injuries. These early settlement offers are almost always far less than what your case is truly worth. Once you accept a settlement, you can't go back for more money later, even if your injuries turn out to be more serious than you thought.
If you've been injured in Romeoville through someone else's negligence, you don't have to face the insurance companies and legal system alone. Whether you were hurt on Route 53, at a business on Normantown Road, at a workplace near the distribution centers, or anywhere else in the area, I'm here to fight for the compensation you deserve.
