Joliet Personal Injury Lawyer
Attorney for Car Accidents, Defective Products, Dog Bites, and Wrongful Death in Joliet, IL
Serious injuries can affect a person and their family in many ways. In many cases, a victim will require extensive medical treatment, and the costs of ambulance transportation, emergency room care, hospitalization, surgery, medications, and ongoing treatment such as physical therapy can be massive. If an injury resulted in a disability, a victim may experience a temporary or permanent loss of income, and they may have additional expenses related to assistive devices, prosthetics, or modifications to their home and vehicles. They may also experience a great deal of pain and suffering that affects their relationships with friends and family members or their enjoyment of life. Fortunately, injury victims may be able to pursue financial compensation that addresses these issues.
At Flaherty Law, LLC, we provide legal help to injury victims, ensuring that they can take the proper steps to collect compensation from the person or company that was responsible for their injuries. We are committed to helping our clients receive full and fair compensation that will allow them to recover from their injuries and put their lives back together.
Legal Representation in Joliet Injury Cases
No matter the circumstances surrounding an injury, Attorney Daniel Flaherty can help victims understand their legal options. He assists with cases involving:
- Motor vehicle accidents - Collisions between vehicles can result in multiple types of injuries for drivers and passengers, as well as extensive property damage. We can help hold negligent drivers responsible for injuries that occur in car accidents, truck accidents, and motorcycle accidents. We also provide representation for pedestrians or bicyclists injured in collisions with motor vehicles, and we represent people who have been injured in train accidents.
- Premises liability - When injuries occur because property owners did not take the proper measures to protect the safety of visitors or customers, we can help victims take legal action to recover compensation. We assist with injuries caused by slip and fall accidents and dog bites, as well as injuries to children at schools or daycare facilities.
- Product liability - Product manufacturers may be liable for injuries that took place because products were designed defectively, because of problems during the manufacturing process, or because the proper instructions and warnings about how to use the product safely were not provided to the product's users.
- Assault - A person who intentionally injured someone else may be held liable for the victim's damages. We can help assault victims determine their options for pursuing compensation, including in cases where injuries occurred in bar fights.
- Nursing home negligence - Residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities may be injured due to intentional abuse or neglect by staff members. We can help hold a negligent nursing home responsible for injuries suffered by residents, including cases involving falls or misdiagnosis.
- Wrongful death - When a person dies due to someone else's negligence, the victim's family members can seek financial compensation. A wrongful death lawsuit may seek to recover multiple types of damages, including the costs of the medical treatment the victim received before they died, the loss of the income the victim would have earned for their family, the loss of companionship experienced by family members, the grief and sorrow the victim's loved ones have suffered, and the costs of the victim's funeral and burial.
