When you’re seeking medical treatment, you’re putting your complete trust in the system and people caring for you.

The Nursing Home Care Act protects Illinois nursing home patients by setting a certain standard and regulations for patient rights and proper care. When you enter a nursing home or make the decision to put a loved one in someone else’s care, it’s an extremely emotional time in your life. You expect the highest level of care when you’re not around. Unfortunately, the quality of patient care doesn’t always adhere to the law, and in some cases, abuse and neglect lead to severe outcomes such as:

• Assisted living accidents & injuries
• Bed sores
• Choking
• Dropped patients
• Elopement and wandering
• Fatal accidents
• Medication errors
• Sexual assault
• Slip & fall accidents

If you were injured at work, there’s a likely chance that you’re entitled to compensation under Illinois’ Workers Compensation Act. This Act provides benefits like loss of wages and medical expenses after an illness or injury.

We’ll help you navigate the law surrounding your workplace accident. Our work accident attorneys have experience helping clients with the following cases:

• Construction accidents
