What We Do

Chicago Automotive Defects

The large verdicts we have obtained for clients contribute to safer vehicles by imposing a real financial cost when auto manufacturers produce defective auto parts and sacrifice safety for profits.

Common automotive defects include (but are not limited to):

Chicago Cerebral Palsy and Birth Injuries

When a doctor fails to take reasonable precautions the baby can suffer a lifetime of disability, cerebral palsy, developmental delay and other birth injuries. We work to obtain compensation for these losses.

Chicago Medical Malpractice

We represent people who suffered damages due to medical malpractice, which includes negligent failures to diagnose and properly treat cancer, emergency room errors, prescription errors, obstetric anesthesia, pediatric, radiology, and surgical errors.

Chicago Motor Vehicle & Truck Accidents

Often, auto accidents cases that involve careless driveres can also involve product liability in the auto manufacturers as well. Traffic violations, poor design, and lack of proper safety features, are common causes of injuries and deaths in car accidents and trucking accidents.

Chicago Personal Injuries

We help personal injury victims obtain full, fair compensation for their losses.

Chicago Sexual Assault

We hold the parties responsible when their negligence contributes to child molestation or other types of sexual assault.

Chicago Defective Products

Our Chicago defective products attorneys obtain compensation for people injured by defective vehicles and auto components, dangerous medications, dangerous or defective medical devices, and industrial equipment or machinery.

Chicago Catastrophic Injury Law

Traumatic accidents can result in many different ways and leave victims to deal with a number of life-changing conditions such as paraplegia and quadriplegia. Hiring an attorney that has experience in these areas is paramount for your legal case.

In all our practice areas, our goal is the same: to help those who have been harmed through the negligence or recklessness of others obtain just compensation for their losses. To schedule a free consultation with an experienced, contact the Chicago injury lawyers of Pfaff & Gill, Ltd.
