Deciding who to contact and trust after suffering a serious personal injury is one of the most important decisions an injured person, and his/her family, has to make.  At Tenenbaum Law Group, we personally handle each and every case from start to finish.  We always have a comprehensive update available for our clients.  We provide comprehensive legal solutions with detailed explanations along each step of the way.  We are accessible and relatable.  We value our clients because we know that our clients are the key to our continued success.  We achieve success one client at a time.

Personal injuries can result from automobile collisions, bicycle collisions, motorcycle collisions or truck collisions.  Most collisions are caused by negligent drivers who are distracted, fail to yield, fatigued, speeding, texting or under the influence.

Personal injuries can also result from a slip and fall.  Illinois property and business owners have certain obligations to keep their buildings and/or land in a safe condition for authorized visitors.

Personal injuries often occur on construction sites as the result of an unsafe work environment.  It is not uncommon for a worker to fall from heights/scaffolding or be hit by falling objects/debris.

Personal injuries can also occur from medical malpractice.  While medical malpractice can occur in a multitude of different circumstances, it typically occurs from surgical errors, birth injuries or failure to diagnose.

Persons injured can develop broken bones, burns, concussions, hearing loss, lacerations, loss of limbs/digits, loss of vision, spinal cord injuries and/or whiplash.  Most of these injuries can take months, even years, to completely recover from and often result in significant medical expenses that cause severe stress on the entire family.  Severe personal injuries can even lead to death.  In these instances, the stress on the entire family can become unbearable.

We represent clients in the following practice areas:

• Automobile/Transportation accidents (trucking; buses; motorcycles; bicycles; pedestrian involvement);

In the State of Illinois, the following damages may be recoverable as part of your personal injury case:

• Past, current and future estimated medical expenses
• Time lost from work, including time spent going to medical appointments or therapy
• Any property that was damaged, such as your vehicle or contents thereof
• In some instances, the cost of hiring someone to do household chores when you couldn’t
• Any permanent disfigurement or disability
• Your emotional distress, including anxiety, depression, and any interference with your family relationships
• Any other costs that were a direct result of your injury

Personal injury cases are subject to time limits.  It is critical that we begin discovery, or the process of gathering evidence, on your case as soon as possible.  Additionally, evidence may be missing or damaged if you wait too long. Medical Malpractice claims and some personal injury claims against governmental entities involve taking certain action in order to preserve your right to seek recovery. Finally, injured clients often communicate with the insurance companies representing parties at fault and provide damaging recorded statements that may negatively affect outcome of the case.  Tenenbaum Law Group will guide its clients so that their rights are protected.

We have flexible appointment hours and can meet late in the evenings or weekends, and if client is not in position to visit our office due to the injury, we will make arrangements to travel to client’s location for a meeting.

If you, or anybody you know, suffered a serious personal injury, do not delay, contact us today.  Call (847) 724-0300.  We offer free personal injury consultations and only get paid after you get paid.  We honor the contingency agreements: no recovery – no fee.  Even if we advance significant sums in pursuing your case, we charge no legal fees unless we win your case.
