Personal Injury and Wrongful Death

Who We Are

We represent injured people in claims involving foodborne illness, wrongful death, product liability, medical malpractice, prescription errors, transportation negligence and fires and explosions.

	Attorney Fred Pritzker "I've represented thousands of people in injury and wrongful death cases. Clients want to be treated with dignity and respect. They want an experienced lawyer; someone to guide them through a difficult time. I think we do that about as well as it can be done."
	Attorney Elliot Olsen "For all of us, we think about our clients first. Most people aren't able to get good settlements on their own. When clients put their cases in our hands, we dig in, find out the full story and work to get them the compensation they deserve."
	Attorney Renee Pritzker "I used to practice in a huge law firm. What I like about this firm is that we're small enough to really get to know our clients. For some people, an injury is the worst thing they'll ever experience. We help people get on with their lives. That's a lawyer's highest calling."
	Attorney Eric Hageman I love the different sides of being a plaintiff’s lawyer; helping injured people obtain justice; and, also, forcing people or companies to be accountable for their actions. Helping people achieve justice is obviously the biggest motivator in this profession and it’s why I became a plaintiff’s lawyer in the first place.
	Attorney David Szerlag "Many of my cases are against manufacturers who sell unsafe products. I may be David taking on Goliath, but I have been doing this long enough that I cannot be intimidated. My years as a firefighter also prepared me to face challenges fearlessly."
	Attorney Brendan Flaherty “We know how to listen. That’s always the first step. Injured people know what they need. They might not know the law or the right term for it, but they have a real sense of what’s fair. Our job is to make sure our clients get the justice they deserve.”
