Car Accidents

If a car accident has left you with injuries, medical bills, and pain and suffering, you need an attorney who can help you demonstrate the other driver's negligence and fight for compensation. We have experience in all manner of car accident cases, including those involving drunk, distracted, and uninsured drivers, and we can tailor a strategy based on your specific situation.

Truck Accidents

Semi-truck accidents often cause severe injuries to the occupants of other vehicles, and they may involve complicated liability in which the driver, his or her employer, and other trucking industry employees all bear partial fault. We will help you identify all potentially liable parties so that you can pursue the full amount of compensation possible.

Medical Malpractice

Doctors and medical professionals hold your life and health in their hands, and if they make a preventable mistake related to your diagnosis, treatment, or prescription, it can cause you serious harm. Medical malpractice cases can be challenging because it may take you some time to recognize the effects, and doctors often have the resources to hire highly qualified legal representation, so you need an attorney with the knowledge and experience to uncover evidence of medical malpractice and build the strongest possible case to stand up for you in settlement negotiations or a trial and obtain full recovery for your damages.

Wrongful Death

If you have lost a family member in an accident, we can help you obtain compensation through a wrongful death claim. Though a lawsuit cannot bring back the person you have lost, it can help you cover their medical and funeral expenses and make up for the financial support they provided. You may be able to pursue additional compensation for both the victim's pain and suffering and your own grief and loss of companionship, and if the defendant intentionally caused the death of your loved one, the court may also order punitive damages.

Nursing Home Abuse

Unfortunately, nursing home staff often fail to uphold their responsibility to care for the well-being of residents. Nursing home abuse cases may involve physical or sexual assault, or neglect due to insufficient staff, training, or supervision. If you or your loved one is the victim of nursing home negligence, we are ready to take your case.

Premises Liability

If you are injured on someone else's property, we can help you determine whether the owner's negligence was the reason. Property owners may be liable for injuries to lawful visitors to their premises if they knew of an injury risk and failed to reasonably address it or adequately warn visitors of the potential hazard.

Farming Accidents

Farmworkers use heavy equipment on a regular basis, and a defective or improperly operated combine or tractor can cause injuries every bit as serious as those resulting from a car accident. We can help you pursue compensation from a negligent operator, equipment manufacturer, or farm owner for any injuries and damages for which they bear responsibility.

Defective Products

If you were injured by a product that broke or malfunctioned, you need an attorney who can help you fully investigate the product's history and determine whether another party's negligence contributed to the situation leading to your injuries. The designer of a defective product may be at fault if there is a fatal flaw in the design, and the manufacturer may be responsible for flaws introduced during production. You may also be able to pursue compensation from the seller of the product if they falsely advertised its performance or failed to advise you of its injury risk.

  • I contacted Kanoski Bresney. I met with Todd and one of his associates. We talked for a better part of an hour. He took my case, and from that moment on, I was up to date on everything. He did more in two weeks than that other attorney did in three years.

  • After a work related injury I was dealing with resistance from an insurance company. I felt lost in a world I knew nothing about the legal world. Kanoski Bresney helped guide me to make the best decision for myself. I am incredibly grateful.

    - Mariah Johnson

  • Todd handled my case and I thank God for him. He was more than dedicated at getting me the settlement I deserved. He has a good heart and did more than he had to to make sure I was taken care of. Thank you so much

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a time limit for filing a personal injury claim?

In Illinois, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is two years in most cases. This means that person must file a claim within two years after an accident or within two years after they first knew about an injury. In some cases involving government liability, the statute of limitations is one year.

What is my personal injury claim worth?

The value of a personal injury will be based on a number of factors, including the age and health of the victim, the extent and severity of their injuries, disabilities that have affected the victim's ability to earn an income, the physical and emotional pain and suffering of a victim and their family, and whether an injury occurred because of someone's gross negligence.

Can I receive compensation if I was partially at fault for an injury?

Under the comparative negligence laws in IL, you can pursue compensation as long as you were 50% at fault for your injury or less. If it is determined that you were partially at fault, the compensation you can receive will be reduced by the percentage that you were at fault. If you were 25% at fault, you will receive 75% of the total amount of your damages.

What are my options if I was in a car accident with an uninsured driver?

If an at-fault driver was uninsured, or if their insurance policy will not fully cover your damages, your own insurance policy may provide uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. Our attorneys can help you negotiate a settlement with your insurance company and determine whether you have other options for receiving compensation in an accident.
