Effort and Creativity Make the Difference in Chicago Personal Injury Litigation

Creativity is an important part of a successful personal injury law practice.

2012-09-17

CHICAGO, IL, September 17, 2012 (Press-News.org) Creativity is an important part of a successful personal injury law practice. The parties responsible for an Illinois resident's injuries are not always immediately apparent, which is why maximizing an injured person's recovery often requires a unique combination of legal skill and innovative thinking.

What distinguishes the downtown Chicago law firm of Goldberg Weisman Cairo from many other local firms is the passion and skill we bring to helping solve our clients' problems. The attorneys at GWC try harder than other firms to help injured Chicago residents and frequently take cases that other firms consider too difficult to pursue. This is because we think that no Chicagoland resident should have to bear the expense of a serious personal injury caused by the negligence of another.

One of our recent clients was turned down by at least five local law firms in her town. The small firms our client initially consulted told her she did not have a case, but fortunately, she sought the help of the personal injury attorneys at GWC.

The woman suffered a substantial leg fracture after stepping on a defective commuter train platform. Our law firm recognized that the woman had a case and was able to obtain a reasonable settlement from a railroad company.

This case highlights the benefit of bold and creative legal representation in maximizing an injured individual's recovery in a personal injury case. The attorneys at Goldberg Weisman Cairo were able to see the value in the injured train passenger's case and get her the compensation she deserved.

This is just one of many large personal injury verdicts and settlements recently obtained by GWC on behalf of our clients. Our passion for helping our clients is why we are Illinois' largest personal injury law firm and why we continue to break records throughout the metro area and the state.

As Illinois' largest personal injury and workers' compensation firm, GWC has the resources to handle the most complex personal injury matters for our clients.
