Mount Prospect Personal Injury Lawyers

At Levin & Perconti, our attorneys have successfully handled numerous injury cases and recovered millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for our clients, including:

• $575,000 negligence settlement against an Evergreen Park, IL nursing home for the family of an 88-year-old woman who developed multiple bed sores at the defendant facility. The sores worsened and her condition deteriorated, causing her death five months after she was first admitted to the facility.
• $645,000 verdict plus attorneys’ fees for the family of an 81-year-old man who suffered a serious brain injury after falling out of his wheelchair at the defendant nursing home. He later died from complications linked to his injuries.
• $800,000 settlement against a Lincolnshire, Illinois intermediate care facility for failing to appropriately supervise a 32-year-old mentally disabled woman on a facility outing where she choked to death.
• $5.35 million settlement against a hospital and hospital staff for failure to diagnose postpartum cardiomyopathy in an 18-year-old woman who had just had her first child one month earlier. The victim died as a result of this failure to diagnose.
• $6.5 million trucking accident settlement ($4.7 record Kane County wrongful death settlement) for the family of a 32-year-old woman who was killed when their pick-up truck was rear-ended by a semi-truck. Our client and his son both suffered significant personal injuries in the collision.
  The defendant truck driver was found to be under the influence of marijuana and operating an overloaded, unsafe truck. In violation of federal regulations, the defendant truck owners failed to drug-screen or perform background checks on their drivers.
