At Phillips Law Offices in Chicago, Illinois, we handle a wide range of personal injury and accident cases with one goal — to help injured victims and their families recover the compensation they deserve. Whether you’ve been injured in a car accident, truck collision, slip and fall, or through medical malpractice, our skilled attorneys are ready to fight for your rights. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no fee unless you win, and we offer a free consultation to discuss your case.
Our experienced team has successfully represented thousands of clients across Illinois, delivering strong results through negotiation and trial. Below are the main types of accidents and injuries we handle for clients seeking justice and recovery.
Car Accidents
Car accidents are one of the most common cases we handle at Phillips Law Offices. Every year, thousands of people in Chicago and throughout Illinois are injured in collisions caused by reckless or negligent drivers. Our lawyers handle cases involving rear-end collisions, head-on crashes, intersection accidents, distracted driving, and drunk driving incidents.
We understand the emotional and physical toll these accidents take. Our legal team investigates the scene, collects evidence, reviews police reports, and works with experts to determine liability. We ensure that your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering are fully accounted for. If the insurance company fails to offer a fair settlement, we are prepared to take your case to court and fight aggressively for your compensation.
Truck Accidents
Truck accidents often result in catastrophic injuries due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles. We have extensive experience handling cases involving semi-trucks, delivery trucks, and commercial fleets. Our attorneys are familiar with federal trucking regulations, including driver hours, maintenance logs, and cargo loading standards.
We hold negligent truck drivers, trucking companies, and even vehicle manufacturers accountable for their role in accidents. Whether your case involves driver fatigue, speeding, improper maintenance, or overloaded cargo, our goal is to secure justice for you. At Phillips Law Offices, we build strong cases that stand up to powerful trucking corporations and their insurers.
Medical Malpractice
When a medical professional fails to provide proper care, the consequences can be life-changing. Our firm represents clients in medical malpractice claims involving surgical errors, misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, birth injuries, anesthesia mistakes, and hospital negligence.
We work with leading medical experts to review your records and determine where standards of care were breached. Medical malpractice cases require thorough investigation and attention to detail — both of which our team provides with compassion and professionalism. Patients trust doctors with their lives; when that trust is broken, Phillips Law Offices ensures they are held accountable.
Slip-and-Fall Accidents
A slip-and-fall accident can happen anywhere — in a grocery store, on a sidewalk, or at a friend’s home. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions. When they fail to fix hazards like wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poor lighting, they can be held liable for resulting injuries.
We handle cases where clients have suffered broken bones, spinal injuries, head trauma, and chronic pain from falls. Our attorneys gather surveillance footage, witness statements, and maintenance records to prove negligence. You shouldn’t have to bear the burden of someone else’s carelessness — we’re here to help you recover every dollar you deserve.
Dog Bites and Animal Attacks
Dog bites can cause serious physical injuries and emotional trauma, especially in children. Illinois law holds dog owners strictly liable for injuries their pets cause, regardless of whether the dog has shown prior aggression.
Our attorneys handle all aspects of your case, including medical evidence, scarring evaluations, and psychological impact. We aim to recover compensation for medical bills, plastic surgery, pain and suffering, and lost income. At Phillips Law Offices, we believe victims of dog attacks deserve strong advocacy and fair compensation.
Product Liability
When defective or unsafe products cause injuries, consumers have the right to hold manufacturers accountable. We represent clients in product liability cases involving faulty machinery, defective medical devices, unsafe toys, and dangerous household goods.
Our firm investigates whether the product was poorly designed, manufactured, or lacked adequate warnings. We work with engineers and safety experts to prove fault and ensure that victims receive full compensation for their injuries. Phillips Law Offices fights against large corporations to protect consumer safety and deliver justice.
Workplace Injuries
Workplace injuries can occur in any job, from construction sites to offices. We help employees who suffer burns, falls, repetitive stress injuries, machinery accidents, and exposure to harmful substances.
If you were hurt at work, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits — including medical coverage, lost wages, and rehabilitation. In some cases, you might also have a third-party injury claim if another party’s negligence contributed to your injury. Our experienced attorneys guide you through both types of claims to ensure maximum recovery.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one because of someone else’s negligence is devastating. Our wrongful death attorneys handle cases involving fatal car crashes, medical malpractice, defective products, and workplace accidents.
We help families seek compensation for funeral costs, lost income, emotional suffering, and loss of companionship. While no amount of money can replace your loved one, a successful wrongful death claim can provide financial security and justice. At Phillips Law Offices, we treat every case with the care, respect, and dedication it deserves.
Catastrophic Injuries
Catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injuries (TBI), spinal cord damage, severe burns, or amputations require lifelong care and rehabilitation. Our firm helps victims and families obtain compensation that covers medical treatment, therapy, adaptive equipment, and home modifications.
We work with life care planners and medical experts to assess the long-term costs of such injuries. These cases require an attorney with the skill and resources to fight aggressively against insurance companies that try to undervalue claims. At Phillips Law Offices, we never stop until justice is served.
Construction Accidents
Construction sites are among the most dangerous workplaces. Our attorneys represent victims injured due to scaffolding collapses, electrical accidents, heavy machinery failures, and falls from heights.
We work to identify all responsible parties — including contractors, equipment manufacturers, and site owners. Our goal is to help you recover workers’ compensation benefits and, if applicable, additional damages through third-party claims.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents
With heavy traffic in Chicago, cyclists and pedestrians face constant risk from distracted or careless drivers. We handle cases where victims have suffered broken bones, spinal injuries, and head trauma due to motor vehicle collisions.
Our attorneys use accident reconstruction, traffic camera footage, and eyewitness reports to prove fault. At Phillips Law Offices, we fight to ensure that injured pedestrians and bicyclists receive fair compensation for their suffering and recovery.
