Car Accidents

Car accidents are one of the most common causes of injuries, and another driver is often at fault. We can help with accidents involving drunk, distracted, speeding, and reckless drivers, and drivers who violate traffic laws or simply fail to consider your safety. We also understand the different approaches that may be necessary for rear-end accidents, head-on collisions, and other types of crashes.

Truck Accidents

In a semi-truck accident, it is often the occupants of passenger vehicles who suffer the most. Pursuing compensation from a commercial truck driver can be different from pursuing compensation from the driver of a passenger vehicle, and you will often benefit from an attorney who has experience standing up to trucking companies and their legal and insurance representatives.

Medical Malpractice

Though doctors and healthcare professionals usually make every effort to give you the best treatment possible, they occasionally commit costly errors that can cause you lasting harm. If you are suffering after a surgical error, an incorrect diagnosis, an improperly administered dosage, or a birth injury affecting you or your child, we can help you file a claim of medical malpractice. We will thoroughly investigate your case to uncover any preventable mistakes and the parties responsible for them, allowing us to construct a strong argument for your full compensation that we will present in settlement negotiations or in a trial.

Wrongful Death

The loss of a loved one, and especially a provider for your family, can leave you grieving and struggling to make ends meet. It can be even harder to cope when your family member was killed by the negligent or intentional actions of another person. We can help to lessen your burden by working to hold the at-fault party accountable through a wrongful death lawsuit. We will fight for compensation on behalf of your loved one, including for damages related to medical and funeral expenses, as well as on your behalf, including for damages related to your emotional pain and suffering and lost financial support.

Nursing Home Abuse

Nursing home abuse affects people who are already vulnerable, and it usually comes at the hands of the people who are supposed to be providing care. Physical, verbal, and sexual abuse can all affect the victim's health and well-being, as can neglect related to insufficient care and supervision, and we want to help you pursue legal recourse for damages to yourself or your loved one.

Premises Liability

If you have suffered a slip-and-fall or have been injured due to a defective product or insufficient security or protection on someone else's property, it is important to determine whether the property owner may be responsible. We can help you recover damages in cases where the owner failed to address an injury risk or did not properly warn you of a possible hazard.

Farming Accidents

Injuries on farms are common, in part due to the use of heavy equipment like tractors and combines that can be dangerous when operated improperly. Loose livestock can also contribute to car accidents, and grain bins can ignite and explode, injuring people inside or nearby. In the rural areas of Schuyler County, you need an attorney who understands the nature of these unique accidents.

Defective Products

Unsafe or defective products can seriously harm you and your family, and it may be unclear who is at fault for an incident resulting in injuries. Your best chance of obtaining compensation is to work with an attorney who has handled many defective product cases and knows how to uncover the facts necessary to strengthen your claim. We have achieved successful outcomes in cases involving hazardous baby products, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, power tools, and auto parts. We can help you determine whether the defect is due to a design flaw or a mistake in the manufacturing process, as well as whether the retailer should have warned you of a potential injury risk.

  • I contacted Kanoski Bresney. I met with Todd and one of his associates. We talked for a better part of an hour. He took my case, and from that moment on, I was up to date on everything. He did more in two weeks than that other attorney did in three years.

    - David

  • After a work related injury I was dealing with resistance from an insurance company. I felt lost in a world I knew nothing about the legal world. Kanoski Bresney helped guide me to make the best decision for myself. I am incredibly grateful.

    - Mariah Johnson

  • Todd handled my case and I thank God for him. He was more than dedicated at getting me the settlement I deserved. He has a good heart and did more than he had to to make sure I was taken care of. Thank you so much

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a time limit for filing a personal injury claim?

In Illinois, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is two years in most cases. This means that person must file a claim within two years after an accident or within two years after they first knew about an injury. In some cases involving government liability, the statute of limitations is one year.

What is my personal injury claim worth?

The value of a personal injury will be based on a number of factors, including the age and health of the victim, the extent and severity of their injuries, disabilities that have affected the victim's ability to earn an income, the physical and emotional pain and suffering of a victim and their family, and whether an injury occurred because of someone's gross negligence.

Can I receive compensation if I was partially at fault for an injury?

Under the comparative negligence laws in IL, you can pursue compensation as long as you were 50% at fault for your injury or less. If it is determined that you were partially at fault, the compensation you can receive will be reduced by the percentage that you were at fault. If you were 25% at fault, you will receive 75% of the total amount of your damages.

What are my options if I was in a car accident with an uninsured driver?

If an at-fault driver was uninsured, or if their insurance policy will not fully cover your damages, your own insurance policy may provide uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. Our attorneys can help you negotiate a settlement with your insurance company and determine whether you have other options for receiving compensation in an accident.
