Chicago Personal Injury Attorney

Illinois Personal Injury Attorney

Have you been injured or hurt? Do you believe it was someone else's fault?

Do you believe that a doctor made a mistake? Did you lose a loved one as a result of someone else's negligence?

Do you believe you were hurt by an unsafe product? Was your injury the result of a fall?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, we at the Law Office of Zapolis & Associates, P.C. can help you. Personal injury law involves injury to an individual as a result of someone else's negligence. In the legal community, this is known as a "tort." A tort assigns responsibility to an individual, group or corporation for causing injury to another person. Our goal in personal injury is twofold. First, and foremost, we want to provide relief to the victim for any pain, suffering, or economic loss inflicted upon the individual. Second, we want to hold the responsible party accountable and stop them from inflicting further harm to others.

Slip and Falls

Slip and fall refers to an incident in which a person slips and falls due to a dangerous or hazardous condition, such as wet floors, poorly lit stairs, loose rugs, holes in sidewalks or unnatural accumulations of ice. Speak to an attorney to determine if the law considers the circumstances of your accident actionable.

Litigation

Zapolis & Associates handles litigation involving wrongful death and personal injury as a result of negligence, medical malpractice, product liability, automobile accidents, work related injuries, and unsafe premises incidents. We have extensive experience in litigating municipal liability cases-those cases which involve a city, village, or other municipal entity.

Medical Malpractice

We can investigate whether a doctor acted in a reasonably competent manner as any professional in his field is required to act. Our firm represents families of individuals who have experienced serious injuries or even death due to the negligence of health care professionals.

Product Liability

Dangerous and faulty products can cause accidents, injuries and even death. Our attorneys can determine who was responsible for your injuries by investigating the companies that manufactured, sold and distributed the products that caused your injury.

Negligence

The law states that people have a duty to act responsibly; they must be careful not to injure others. In short, negligence cases are those in which a person or entity is accused of failing to act carefully thereby causing an injury.
