All it takes is a few seconds for negligence or recklessness to change the life of an injured victim.

At Fotopoulos Law Office, we know how devastating it can be for a family to deal with a serious injury or the death of a loved one. We also recognize the financial burdens that families often face in these situations. If you or a member of your family has been injured by the recklessness or negligence of another party, our firm is dedicated to helping you pursue the compensation you deserve.
Common Types of Personal Injury Matters in Oak Forest and Palos Heights
Accidents happen all the time and in just about any location. Sometimes, accidents occur despite everyone involved doing the right thing and being as careful as possible. In other situations, however, an accident is caused by negligent behavior by one or more parties. When negligence is part of the problem, a personal injury lawsuit could be the solution.
Attorney John S. Fotopoulos is an experienced personal injury lawyer who understands how to handle complex injury cases. He and his team are equipped to help with all types of personal injury matters, including:
- Traffic accidents: Each year, thousands of people are hurt and hundreds are killed in motor vehicle accidents on Illinois roadways. Our firm represents victims injured in car accidents, truck crashes, motorcycle wrecks, pedestrian accidents, bicycle crashes, and other types of traffic accidents.
- Construction-Related Accidents: The construction industry is one of the most dangerous sectors in which to work. Accidents on construction sites can cause catastrophic injuries and even death. If you have been injured while performing construction work or while visiting a worksite, we are here to help.
- Slip-and-Fall Accidents: Customers who shop at retail stores or other businesses or people who enter property open to the public may experience serious injuries if hazards cause them to slip or trip and fall down. In these cases, a property owner may be held liable for a victim’s injuries through a premises liability claim.
- Medical Malpractice: Doctors and other medical professionals must be held accountable for negligent mistakes that cause injury to their patients. Our firm handles surgical malpractice, birth injuries, misdiagnoses, delayed diagnoses, medication errors, and all other types of healthcare-related professional negligence.
- Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse: When your loved one lives in a long-term care facility or a nursing home, you have the right to expect quality care. Unfortunately, nursing home residents may be injured by intentional abuse or negligence by staff members. We can help address nursing home injuries caused by issues such as understaffing, abuse, neglect, or other forms of negligence.
- Defective and Dangerous Products: Poorly designed or defective products present a danger to consumers who use them. The companies that make and distribute such products may be financially liable when injuries occur as a result of their negligence. We help victims seek compensation under Illinois’ product liability laws.
- Sexual Abuse by Priests and Clergy: At our firm, we believe that victims of sexual abuse by members of the clergy should be entitled to compensation. It is impossible to put a price on the horrors that these victims have endured, but financial considerations may be appropriate in helping them rebuild their lives.
