MILLIONS IN COMPENSATION
Over Thousands of Personal Injury Lawsuits
The personal injury lawyers at Elman Joseph Samples Law Group have been a pillar of Chicago, IL, since the 1990s. Our trial-ready attorneys have handled over 10,000 lawsuits resulting in millions upon millions in compensation for our clients.
Our lead trial attorney, Anthony R. Elman, won the Cook County Jury Verdict Reporter Trial Lawyer Excellence Award in October 2019. He earned this great honor by reporting more jury trials as a plaintiff attorney than any other eligible lawyer over the same 30-year period.
Our personal injury lawyers are especially dedicated to Chicago clients because of their deep roots here. Mr. Elman has been practicing law in Illinois since 1992. Every other attorney at our firm graduated from either the Loyola University Chicago School of Law or the Chicago-Kent College of Law — prestigious law schools in our state.
OUR OFFICE IS ACCESSIBLE
BY PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
Many car or truck accidents leave victims without their usual means of transportation. Thankfully for our clients, multiple public transportation options are available.
The Washington/Wells Station subway stop is only 3 minutes from our building. Multiple other subway stops are less than 10 minutes from our doors.
The Chicago Ogilvie Transportation Center Commuter Rail lets out .4 miles from our building.
We Focus on Auto Accidents
An Area of Personal Injury Law
Our personal injury attorneys can handle a variety of case types. That being said, we are particularly dedicated to taking on and winning auto accident cases. Maintaining a laser-sharp focus in this area has allowed our personal injury lawyers to set themselves apart.
We have developed a finely tuned understanding of all relevant personal injury laws. Handling thousands of auto cases has given us extensive knowledge of the tactics insurance companies and defense attorneys employ. Our personal injury attorneys have also developed a respected network of expert witnesses we can draw upon to win personal injury claims.
We Are Always Trial Ready
Our personal injury team is made up of six attorneys who all do trial work 100% of the time. Unlike many other firms, we do not rush to accept lowball settlement offers in personal injury claims. Our attorneys are confident in advising clients on when allowing us to go to trial on their behalf can earn them significantly more compensation.
WE WIN MAJOR
Personal Injury Cases
Our personal injury lawyers have achieved a great number of significant verdicts and settlements. In 2018, attorney Frederick Joseph attained the highest jury verdict awards in two separate Cook County municipal division courtrooms. Several of our Chicago personal injury lawyers’ notable wins are listed below:
$1 Million Verdict
DuPage County
Wrongful Death
$980K Verdict
Chicago
Auto Accident
$975K SETTLEMENT
Wrongful Death Lawsuit
$775K Verdict
Pedestrian Accident
WE STRIVE TO MAXIMIZE
EACH Personal Injury Case
The significant verdicts discussed above may give the impression that our personal injury lawyers only handle major lawsuits. This is not the case. In fact, our trial acumen often allows us to obtain larger-than-expected compensation in relatively minor lawsuits.
$56,233
JURY VERDICT
For example, one of our clients came to us after a simple two-car collision on the Kennedy Expressway left them with a fractured rib. We went above and beyond for this client and attained a $56,233 jury verdict for this single injury.
Retaining Our Personal Injury Lawyers
Costs You Absolutely Nothing
Clients come to us after suffering from auto accidents and other serious injuries. They are often enduring physical harm, financial loss, major medical bills, and emotional anguish. Our injury law firm refuses to add any additional burden to their lives.
We begin each wrongful death or personal injury lawsuit with a free consultation. And when our personal injury lawyers take on a case, we do so on a contingency basis. This arrangement means we charge nothing upfront and only get paid if we win. Doing so allows our clients to focus on recovery, assures them that we have no interest in running up hourly fees, and ensures our focus is on achieving the maximum amount of compensation possible.
