Personal Injury

Personal injury claims are brought by individuals who suffer physical or psychological injury directly due to another person's negligence.

I employ a practical, professional approach to ensure that my clients obtain full and fair recovery for their injuries, including damages for their past and future medical bills, lost income, emotional distress, and pain and suffering. I will work diligently to obtain the best possible recovery for my clients.

Protecting your claim
Illinois law sets limits on the amount of time you have to file a personal injury claim. Consult an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible so your claim is filed within crucial statutory deadlines. By investigating your claim immediately, I help ensure that valuable evidence remains available and witnesses' memories remain fresh.

Insurance Defense
I am also experienced in handling various types of insurance defense cases on behalf of insured individuals and corporations. I have defended numerous cases on behalf of the insureds of numerous insurance carriers over the years, including cases involving personal injury, wrongful death, product liability, premises liability and general negligence. I have defended cases throughout Southern Illinois including St. Clair and Madison Counties as well as St. Louis and St. Louis County.

Personalized legal guidance
Whether plaintiff or defendant, the client's interests are my top priority. I provide personalized legal guidance at every step of your case, updating you on progress and fully informing you about the legal strategy and options available.

I consult with knowledgeable and respected experts to assist with case preparation. I work with these experts to obtain the best possible results through settlement, mediation, arbitration or trial.
