Court Trial Performance
Over the last 30+ years, the Elman Joseph Samples Law Group, LLC has established a reputation for court trial performance. This performance has proven valuable to our clients, as seen in many case results. If a settlement offer is not acceptable, the Elman Joseph Samples Law Group, LLC has proven it can take cases to court in order to get higher compensation for our clients. In many cases, taking a case to court results in (substantially) higher compensation as compared to the final settlement offered.
One example was a “slip & fall” injury case. In this case (Geneva Lewis vs. Pierre’s) the plaintiff was in a bakery and slipped on a wet floor. The resulting injury was a torn rotator cuff injury. The Elman Joseph Samples Law Group, LLC took the case to court after no settlement (i.e. a settlement offer of $0) was offered and achieved a $746,000 jury verdict.
Other notable case results include:
A $1 million jury verdict in 2021 for a DuPage County wrongful death lawsuit (this wrongful death case is further discussed in the "Elman Joseph Samples Law Group LLC Wins $1,000,000 DuPage County Wrongful Death Lawsuit" post)
A $980,000 verdict for a Chicago auto accident

Many $100,000+ injury awards
