You love Chicago, but you’re tired of the crime and taxes. The schools are terrible, and there’s no job growth.
Why are so many people leaving the city? It’s not just one thing that’s driving them away.
There are several reasons why people choose to leave Chicago for other parts of Illinois or even outside state lines.
When an employee or other worker is supervised by someone else, the employer has an obligation to the general public to properly and adequately supervise these people.
When an employer fails to exercise the proper degree of supervision, they can be held legally responsible.
Negligent supervision and hiring claims are a good way to reach companies that may otherwise not be able to be sued.
Personal injury cases are not always easy to win. Besides needing proof of what happened to show that the defendant was negligent, they may also have their own defenses to a personal injury lawsuit that you must overcome.
This will require you to bring additional evidence in order to recover compensation in your case.
The right personal injury lawyer can help an injured person overcome defenses in personal injury claims. Here are some common defense strategies used to try to keep you from recovering damages.
Gross negligence is a special kind of negligence that goes beyond the standard carelessness that you see in many personal injury claims.
There is a special level of reckless disregard for human health and property that is not found in ordinary negligence cases. It may be necessary to prove gross negligence in order to win certain personal injury lawsuits.
As an injured party, here is what you need to know about gross negligence.
Common carriers have a higher duty of care when they are transporting people.
If someone goes into business with the purpose of moving passengers, they are taking on far more responsibility than the average driver does when they get behind the wheel.
If you carry passengers, you can expect that there is a greater chance that you can be held liable. However, many people do not understand the term common carrier.
The key to compensation in a personal injury claim is proving negligence. Without this, you will not receive a check for your injuries.
The question in any case is how to prove that the defendant engaged in negligent conduct. Each person has their own side of the story, and you will not be paid personal injury damages unless you prove yours.
This is why you hire a personal injury attorney, and our law firm can help you.
The Chicago Tribune has reported very serious allegations of sexual misconduct at a Chicago military academy. Here, besides the shocking abuse, the problem is that school officials allegedly knew of the abuse allegations and failed to report them.
The leadership of the school claims that they reported the allegations to central office officials, who did nothing about them. Either way, this is yet another example of school officials prioritizing their own jobs and welfare over student safety.
Accidents can strike at any time and cause you injury, expense, and other harm. Many times, these events and the corresponding loss will implicate policy limits (or policy limit) of insurance coverage offered by an insurance company or multiple insurance companies.
How do you obtain the relief and financial compensation afforded within policy limits?
Well, you need to send a policy demand letter that contains clear language as to the accident, injuries, costs, liability, and applicable policy limit or policy limits that the insurance company holds as well as a settlement demand or at least initiate settlement negotiations.
A t-bone car accident occurs when you least expect it. You are driving along, often through a green light or an intersection, and another driver fails to give you the right-of-way as they legally must.
