Personal Injury and Employment Discrimination

Nothing interrupts your life more than a personal injury or the wrongful death of a family member or loved one. Even if the injuries are not life threatening, they can wreak havoc on your life, disrupting your work schedule, increasing your dependence on someone else for assistance with daily tasks, and introducing pain to tasks that you used to perform effortlessly.

More serious personal injury accidents can involve brain and head injuries, burns, fractures, breaks, dislocations, and other very serious physical, mental, and emotional injuries. At Bochte & Kuzniar, our experience handling personal injury and wrongful death cases has provided us with an understanding of not simply the legal issues, but also the medical issues arising from injuries. Over the years, we have represented clients suffering from injuries resulting from:

• Motor vehicle accidents - Our auto accident attorneys help victims of crashes, collisions, and wrecks involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, taxis, trains, and subways.
  
  
• Premises liability accidents - Our lawyers have represented workers and visitors injured by construction site and industrial accidents, landlord liability, municipal liability, slip, trip and fall accidents.
  
  
• Medical malpractice - The misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of a medical condition, medication and prescription errors, and birth injuries are just a few circumstances where medical malpractice is evident.
  
  
• Workplace accidents  - Employees may recover benefits beyond workers’ compensation for injuries received through the negligence of third parties responsible for safety, including crane operators, scaffolding erectors, and refuse collectors.
  
  
• Dog and Animal Attacks  - Even with ordinances mandating leashing of pets, people are still injured by unrestrained animals, in some cases resulting in serious injury and scarring. In addition, while dogs and cats are still the most common pets, some people keep exotic animals that pose more deadly threats.
  
  
• Unlawful Employment Practice - Our employment discrimination lawyers defend victims of discrimination, retaliatory discharge, whistle blowing, and wrongful termination.

If you have been injured by the negligence of another, or if a family member has been killed as a result of another’s lack of care, you need to consult with a personal injury lawyer to protect your rights and obtain the compensation you deserve. If you have been treated in an unlawful manner in the workplace, we are experienced in protecting your rights. Contact our office today or call us at (630) 377-7770 to find out how we can help.
