Our Practice Areas

Our Chicago-based firm provides comprehensive legal services in all areas and aspects of personal injury law, with a particular focus in the following areas:

MEDICAL MALPRACTICE

Making Doctors Pay Fairly for the Costs of Substandard Care

Medical malpractice is generally defined as medical care that falls below the accepted professional standard of care. Any healthcare provider can be held liable if a patient can prove they had a duty to provide services, failed to perform as a similarly trained professional would, and that they caused damage as a result.

Unfortunately, medical malpractice happens daily in hospitals, clinics, and other care settings throughout the United States. Each year, millions of individuals are injured and thousands die due to medical malpractice by doctors, hospitals, medical professionals, and other healthcare providers. According to Johns Hopkins patient safety experts, more than 250,000 deaths per year in the U.S. are due to medical error.

Medical malpractice cases include claims involving patients who were injured or died because of the negligence, mistake, carelessness, error, or wrongdoing of a doctor, physician, medical professional, hospital, or other healthcare provider.

Doctor with patient

Some of the more common cases we handle include:

  • Diagnostic errors
  • Failure to diagnose a disease/illness
  • Misdiagnosis of conditions/disorders
  • Delayed diagnosis
  • Treatment errors
  • Delayed treatment
  • Surgical errors
  • Medication errors
  • Failure to treat
  • Failure to monitor
  • Failure to obtain consent
  • And more

At Kaveny + Kroll, we devote much of our practice to medical malpractice claims. With a full-time RN on staff, we can quickly evaluate complex medical records, identify failures in care, and build strong, evidence-backed cases. 

From providing proper notice of a pending lawsuit to the doctors who will be sued to obtaining an affidavit of merit, our diligent personal injury lawyers in Chicago can provide invaluable assistance throughout every stage of this type of claim.

Auto accidents are one of the most common causes of personal injuries in Chicago and across the country. Car, truck, or recreational vehicle accidents can cause serious and debilitating lifelong injuries. 

Don’t just rely on the insurance companies to negotiate or settle your case. Insurance companies are not your advocate. Choose Kaveny + Kroll Trial Lawyers to be your advocate!

Most motor vehicle crashes are resolved through negotiation and settlement. You need attorneys who are experienced negotiators and understand the strategy to maximize your payout. At Kaveny + Kroll Trial Lawyers, we have decades of experience in dealing with insurance companies and achieving the highest payouts for our clients. 

If you or your loved ones have been involved in an auto accident, it is extremely important that you contact a local legal professional to navigate your claim. Our Chicago personal injury attorneys’ guidance is essential in building a strong case.

CATASTROPHIC INJURY CASES

Getting Paid Fairly for Life-Altering Injuries

Unfortunately, some injuries are so debilitating that no amount of money can completely make up for the financial, physical, and personal losses that come with them. In these situations, it’s even more important to have support from trustworthy and compassionate legal professionals during your pursuit of civil restitution, since the money you demand now could decide what the entire rest of your life looks like.

The team at Kaveny + Kroll can work tirelessly on your behalf to ensure you’re reimbursed as fairly as possible for catastrophic injuries like:

  • Spinal cord trauma resulting in paralysis
  • Brain damage resulting in loss of motor and/or cognitive function
  • High-degree burns resulting in scarring and loss of sensation
  • Internal organ trauma resulting in loss of normal bodily function
  • Any injury that causes blindness or deafness
  • Loss/amputation of limb

If you have been hurt in an accident that was not your fault, you deserve full and fair compensation for every negative effect that accident has had on your life. While state law does allow you to file a civil suit in this kind of situation, getting a favorable result from a personal injury claim can be far from easy, especially if you try to do it alone.

No matter what caused your injuries, Illinois state law sets a filing deadline of two years after the date of the initial injury for an ensuing civil claim. That can be a very small window of time to build a comprehensive lawsuit, which is another reason to seek representation from a skilled legal professional.

A Chicago personal injury lawyer from Kaveny + Kroll can give you the custom-tailored guidance you need to obtain the compensation you deserve. Call today to schedule a free consultation with one of our dedicated attorneys.
