Southern Illinois and Missouri Civil Litigation Attorneys
Medical Malpractice
When something goes wrong during a surgery or other medical procedure, doctors and hospitals often avoid the victim and his or her family. It usually takes a medical malpractice attorney to get the answers — and compensation — you need.
Workers' Compensation
Many people who are injured at work are reluctant to file a workers' compensation claim because they are afraid their employer will fire them. However, workers in Illinois and Missouri who file injury claims are protected from employer retaliation.
Trucking Accidents
Truck accidents usually involve catastrophic injuries or death. For the victims and their families, it is a devastating event that changes their lives forever.
Car Accidents
While some law firms handle hundreds of car accident cases each year and attempt to settle each case quickly, we don't believe this approach is in the best interest of those who suffer the most serious injuries.
Product Liability
Product liability laws cover a wide range of personal injury cases, from defective tires that cause accidents to medical devices that damage your health.
Drug Side Effects
When we take a drug that has been prescribed by a doctor, we expect that the drug will improve our health, not harm us. In recent years, however, we have learned that many pharmaceutical companies suppress or delay releasing information about dangerous drug side effects because they fear those warnings will reduce drug sales.
Employment Law
There are many aspects of the employment relationship that are regulated by law, from claims involving noncompete agreements to employment discrimination. These cases are filled with land mines for the unwary.
Business and Commercial Law
With the increasing litigiousness of today’s business environment, it's important to select a lawyer who is as comfortable drafting a development agreement as defending that agreement in court.
Class Actions
The most common class action lawsuits in Illinois are those involving business and consumer fraud. However, a class action can be about any damage claim that affects a large number of people, from defective drugs and medical devices to wage and hour claims.
