Personal Injury Negotiation and Trial Attorneys

What type of injury have you suffered? Accidents can happen in a variety of different ways, but have the same consequences to you and your family. Serious injuries can affect a family's emotional, physical, and financial well being.

Benjamin & Shapiro is a Chicago, Illinois, law firm that represents people in personal injury cases with effective negotiation and excellent trial skills. With over 35 years of experience, our team of lawyers counsel people about the process of obtaining compensation for their medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering caused by a serious injury or the death of a family member. Here are some of the types of cases that we handle:

Premises Liability

A typical premises liability case involves a soft tissue injury or other injury caused by a slip and fall on a person's negligently maintained property. After you contact the owner of the property, you need to contact us.

Motor Vehicle Accident

We represent people suffering catastrophic injuries as the result of a motor vehicle accident. No matter if you were involved in a serious car crash, truck accident, or hit as a pedestrian, you deserve money to compensate you for your injuries. We also handle uninsured and underinsured motorist claims if the driver of the other vehicle had either no insurance or not enough insurance.

Medical Malpractice

You trust that your doctor will make you feel better. When you get sicker following medical treatment, something is probably not right. We represent people suffering a serious injury because of any type of malpractice including surgical errors or medication errors. We hold doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other medical professionals accountable for their negligence.

We put the interests of our clients first. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we collect no attorney's fees until your case is successfully settled or tried to conclusion.
