The attorneys at the Scanlan Law Group and personal injury settlements

An attorney in our group of lawyers should be aware that clients who gain large personal injury settlements must often use that money for the health and medical care as well as living expenses for the person harmed. That's why many people have chosen the lawyers at the Scanlan Law Group to represent them for personal injury settlements.

An attorney at the Scanlan Law Group knows that your injuries affect you very personally. Our lawyers know that when you or someone you love suffers a serious injury, you can lose in a single moment your health, your work, your happiness, and even a spouse or child, leaving you to handle what are often huge medical bills, lost income and the emotional distress that often follows in the wake of such tragedies. An attorney is aware that is why it can be very important to effectively sue for the proper settlements.

Look at the people behind Scanlan Law Group's personal injury settlements

A lawyer at Scanlan helped a 15-year-old Chicago boy receive $3.5 million for accidental electrocution. Like others in his neighborhood, this young man often climbed up on a dumpster and then on up an electric pole to reach an adjacent fire escape. On this one occasion, however, he slipped on a patch of ice and reached out to grab a live wire as well as the electrical transformer. As a result, the boy suffered severe electrical burns, which required the surgical amputation of both his arms up to his elbows. According to a laywer at Scanlan, the defendants were liable because "they should have known that the neighborhood children frequently played on the dumpster and fire escape that were located next to the transformer. Their failure to safeguard the area so as to prevent the children from playing near these incredibly dangerous conditions - which would have been easy and inexpensive to do - was inexcusable, and I'm sure the jury would have agreed with me had we gone to trial."

A 53-year-old woman recovered $675,000 for a fall on her church's defective stairs from the help of an attorney. The stairs had been rebuilt a few days earlier but were still excessively steep and lacked a handrail, in violation of a Cook County ordinance. As a result of her fall, the woman sustained multiple leg fractures, which required several surgeries, and she is now required to use a walker. An attorney at Scanlan explains, "I could appreciate the fact that my client did not want to file a lawsuit against a church which she had been a member of for many years. However, when I explained to her that she would most likely never be able to work again, that her medical bills would be huge, and that any recovery she received would be covered by the church's insurance company, it made her realize that a lawsuit was the best answer for her and her family. The woman was particularly pleased that I was able to settle the case without a messy and bitter trial."
