Itasca Personal Injury Attorneys

Compassionate Personal Injury Lawyers for Bar Fights and Catastrophic Injuries in Itasca, IL

Serious injuries can occur in many situations, and they can happen unexpectedly. For example, a bar fight may only last a minute, but the consequences can follow you for months or even years. A debilitating injury sustained in a fistfight can bury you in medical bills and impact your ability to work. If you suffered a catastrophic injury in a bar fight or another situation where somebody else acted recklessly or negligently, a skilled personal injury lawyer can work with you to recover financial compensation.

The lawyers at Newland & Newland, LLP have over 60 years of personal injury experience, and we have a long history of winning favorable settlements and verdicts for our clients. We have helped injury victims address damages related to auto accidents, slip and fall accidents, elder abuse, medical malpractice, defective products, food poisoning, and more. The earlier you get in contact with our personal injury lawyers, the sooner we can help you start building a strong case for compensation.

Compensation for Bar Fight Injuries

Bar fights are often spontaneous, and the aftermath of a brawl can get very messy. With multiple parties who may have been involved and different accounts about who was responsible, you may be unsure about your options. Still, this should not discourage you from seeking legal help from our personal injury lawyers if you have suffered bodily harm. We can collect police reports, gather witness statements, and uncover any other evidence to determine who was at fault for the injuries you suffered in a bar fight.

An important thing to keep in mind is that you may be entitled to compensation for injuries even if no arrest was made for charges such as assault or battery. Illinois law allows you to take action to address the harm you have suffered due to the careless or malicious conduct of another person.

In addition to the person who directly harmed you, other parties may also be held accountable for your injuries. A bartender may have enabled an unsafe environment by continuing to serve a visibly drunk patron. Security may have failed to restrain a person who was acting in a disorderly manner. A bouncer may have handled you with unnecessary roughness, resulting in injuries. We will work to identify all liable parties and take steps to ensure that they are held responsible for your injuries.

Our personal injury attorneys will fight for maximum compensation in your case to ensure that the effects of your injuries will be addressed correctly. Our goal is to help you smoothly transition back into your regular life as you heal without having to worry about your finances.

Catastrophic Injury to the Neck or Back

Bar fights can lead to multiple types of serious injuries. Our bodies are fragile, and being struck with objects or getting knocked to the floor can potentially cause life-altering injuries. The neck and back are especially vulnerable, and injuries may include:

• Compression fractures: Forcing the spine to compress can fracture the vertebrae, resulting in splintered bones pushing against the spinal cord.
• Herniated discs: There are natural cushions in the vertebrae that are intended to absorb shock. If these discs are damaged, they can protrude out of place or rupture, causing agonizing pain.
• Soft-tissue damage:Muscles, tendons, and ligaments can be strained to the point of tearing.
• Paralysis: Severe damage to the nerves in the spinal cord can lead to loss of sensation, loss of mobility, and other ongoing issues that may result in disabilities.

Any of these injuries can be disruptive to your daily life, and expensive physical therapy may be required to fully regain mobility. Our skilled personal injury attorneys can help ensure that you will receive compensation for medical bills, lost income, and other damages.

Newland & Newland, LLP has successfully recovered compensation for many clients who have suffered serious injuries. Our case results include a back injury settlement of over $400,000, as well as a $250,000 settlement for a client who suffered a back injury with a pre-existing condition.
