Over the past 40 years, Fred Pritzker has represented clients throughout the United States. He has held restaurants responsible for foodborne illness outbreaks, corporations responsible for manufacturing errors, trucking companies responsible for driver negligence, and utility companies responsible for devastating explosions.
“I view it as my job to protect our communities by holding accountable those who violate safety rules for the harms and losses they cause. The work we do at Pritzker Hageman gives us an opportunity not just to make a difference in people’s lives, but also to safeguard our communities.”
“It’s important for me to really understand my clients story and the harm they suffered. This puts me in the best position to zealously advocate for their rights.”
“My clients are a great source of inspiration to me. They have a resolve that gives me hope and inspires me to keep doing what I do. When I can make a positive difference in the life of someone who has been seriously injured through no fault of their own, I get to see first hand that my role can be an important one. An injury affects more than the injured person; it affects their family, friends, workplaces, and communities. By helping an injured person improve their situation and get back to normal, I also have the opportunity to make a difference for everyone their life touches.”
As a result of their injuries, our clients’ lives have been set back. They are navigating a new and challenging landscape where they have lost work, comfort, peace of mind, and in some cases, someone close to them. Taking the time to put myself in their shoes helps me explain the legal process better and allows my clients to place their trust in me.
“I find it rewarding to be able to help others navigate challenging and often complicated life events. I went to law school to help protect people against corporate wrongdoers. Now I am able to do that by defending the rights of injured people and working to help change the conduct and practices of wrongdoers for the better.”
