Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Bridgeview

Serious injuries can happen in many different situations. The firm represents Bridgeview clients in a wide range of personal injury matters involving negligence or unsafe conditions.

Car Accidents and Motor Vehicle Injuries

Busy roads such as Harlem Avenue, 79th Street, and nearby highways create heavy traffic throughout the Bridgeview area. Unfortunately, serious collisions are not uncommon.

Michael Brennan represents individuals injured in Car accidents and other motor vehicle crashes involving:

• Rear-end collisions
• Intersection accidents
• Hit-and-run crashes
• Uninsured or underinsured drivers
• Pedestrian and bicycle accidents

Even accidents that initially seem minor can lead to lasting injuries, making proper evaluation important.

Slip and Fall and Premises Liability Cases

Property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain reasonably safe conditions for visitors. When they fail to address hazards, serious injuries can occur.

The firm handles slip and fall injuries and premises liability claims involving:

• Wet or slippery floors
• Broken steps or handrails
• Uneven sidewalks or parking lots
• Poor lighting
• Unsafe property maintenance

Falls can lead to fractures, spinal injuries, and traumatic brain injuries that affect a person’s daily life.

Pedestrian, Train, and Boat Accidents

Some accidents involve particularly vulnerable individuals. When pedestrians, cyclists, or passengers are involved, injuries can be severe.

Michael Brennan represents clients injured in:

• Pedestrian accidents 
• Train accidents involving rail crossings or commuter trains
• Boat accidents caused by negligent operation

These cases often require careful investigation and review of multiple parties’ responsibilities.

Construction and Workplace Injuries

Workplace injuries sometimes involve more than workers’ compensation claims. When a third party contributes to an accident, an injured worker may also have a personal injury case.

Michael Brennan handles claims involving:

• Construction accidents 
• Workplace injuries caused by contractors, property owners, or defective equipment

Identifying all responsible parties is often a key part of these cases.

Nursing Home Abuse and Elder Neglect

Families trust nursing homes and long-term care facilities to provide safe and attentive care for vulnerable residents. When neglect or abuse occurs, the consequences can be devastating.

The firm represents families in cases involving:

• Nursing home neglect 
• Nursing home abuse 
• Nursing home wrongful death 

These cases often require a detailed review of medical records, staffing levels, and facility procedures.

Medical Malpractice Claims

Medical professionals have a duty to provide care that meets accepted standards. When mistakes occur, patients may suffer serious harm.

The firm handles medical malpractice claims involving:

• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
• Surgical errors
• Medication mistakes
• Hospital or nursing negligence

These cases frequently involve expert medical review and careful analysis of treatment decisions.

Serious and Catastrophic Injuries

Some injuries permanently change a person’s life. When an accident causes long-term disability or severe physical damage, the legal process must account for the future impact.

Michael Brennan represents clients with catastrophic injuries such as:

• Traumatic brain injuries 
• Spinal cord injuries 
• Burn injuries 
• Fracture injuries 
• Dog bite injuries 

These cases often involve long-term medical care, rehabilitation, and loss of earning capacity.

Wrongful Death Claims

When negligence results in the loss of a loved one, families are left dealing with emotional and financial hardship.

Michael Brennan represents families in wrongful death cases involving:

• Fatal car accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Nursing home neglect
• Workplace or construction accidents

While no legal action can undo a loss, it can help provide answers and financial stability.
