At Witter Law Offices, we are committed to representing individuals and the families of individuals who have suffered bodily harm or loss of life as a result of the carelessness or negligent conduct of others. 

​

Auto and Trucking Accidents 

One of the most common causes of injury. If you’ve been in an automobile accident and are injured, exchange ID and insurance information with the other driver, contact the police to make a report, and seek medical attention ASAP. The camera on your phone is a great tool to document damage to the vehicles, any injuries, and who the people are at the scene.

 

Slip/trip and Falls

 If you have been injured on either public or private property, we can help. Whether you slipped on a piece of fruit or liquid in a grocery store, or you tripped over a dangerous condition in a parking lot, you may be able to recover for your injuries. That said, you must know what caused your fall. You should 1) find out what caused your fall, and 2) take pictures of it. Remember, a picture is worth a thousand words. And because defective conditions can change rapidly, contact our office as soon as possible so that we can preserve evidence that will be pivotal to your case.

 

Workers’ Compensation 

If you were injured on the job, we can help you navigate Illinois’ complex Workers’ Compensation laws. Whether the inury was your fault, or your employers, you can utilize the workers’ compensation system. Often employers will not advise injured employees of all their rights under the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act. For example, employers must compensate the employee for time he/she is unable to work due to injury, pay medical bills, and if your injuries are permanent, compensate you for those injuries. But you must first notify your employer immediately of your injury. Afterwards, call us to help.
