The Chicago injury and accident attorneys at Levin & Perconti have successfully handled all types of personal injury cases including, but not limited to:

• Personal Injury
Personal injury claims and lawsuits arise when people are injured by careless or intentional acts of others, or injured by products that are defective in some way. When someone is determined to be legally responsible for injuring someone else, they are liable for the injury, and may be made to pay the injured person compensatory damages.

• Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
Wandering and elopement, bed sores (pressure sores, decubitus ulcers), falls, physical or sexual assault, physical or chemical restraints, malnutrition or dehydration, choking, clogged breathing tubes, burns.

• Medical Malpractice
Medical errors, birth injury (cerebral palsy, shoulder dystocia, Erb's palsy, labor and delivery mishaps, fetal death, HIV), doctor errors, nursing mistakes, hospital mistakes, surgical errors, pharmacy medication errors, failure to diagnose, failure to diagnose cancer (breast, bladder, lung, ovarian, cervical, pelvic), medical device failures, misread X-rays, slides and ultrasounds, HMO misconduct, adverse drug reactions, medical device failure.

• Wrongful Death
Wrongful death as a legal term is a death that has been caused by the fault of another person. For example, deaths caused by drunk driving, the manufacture of a defective or dangerous product, the construction of an unsound structure or building, or failing to diagnose a fatal disease may be considered under the law as "wrongful deaths".

• Product Liability
Products liability is an area of personal injury law that focuses on dangerous and defective products. Our firm represents plaintiffs in the Chicago, Illinois area in matters against corporations or manufacturers who have sold or manufactured unsafe products to consumers.

• Car and Truck Accidents
Every time a driver gets behind the wheel of a motor vehicle, he or she is accepting responsibility for the safety of everyone else on the road. Accidents can and do happen. But if a driver's negligent behavior or careless actions lead to the injury or death of another party, that driver must be held accountable.
