With more than 40 years’ experience as personal injury attorneys in the Chicago area, Benjamin and Shapiro Ltd advocates for victims of adverse events. Although many personal injury attorneys in downtown Chicago do not serve outlying areas, Benjamin and Shapiro Ltd welcomes clients from all surrounding counties. The firm always provides free consultations and does not charge fees until compensation is received.

One common type of case the firm handles is transportation litigation, involving cars and trucks, bicycles, or motorcycles. Its lawyers determine whether drivers failed to take proper care or if there was a mechanical defect in the vehicle.

The attorneys often take cases in which a property owner did not ensure safe premises. The law holds owners responsible for falls, slips, and trips occurring indoors or outdoors due to faulty floors, stairs, elevators, or excess ice, snow, or water. Accidents due to improper outdoor lighting can also be litigated.

Another frequent problem is animal attacks. The firm can claim compensation for pet bites resulting in medical expenses, pain and suffering, and disfigurement.

Benjamin and Shapiro Ltd also helps clients with product liability cases, in which defective machinery, tools, or medications caused harm. In addition, they handle workers’ compensation lawsuits in the event that insurance companies do not pay adequate benefits.
