Fighting For Injured Victims For Over 40 Years
The Law Firm of Benjamin & Shapiro, Ltd. has been helping people recover compensation for their injuries for over forty years. Based in the heart of the Chicago Loop, literally steps from the courthouse, the lawyers at Benjamin & Shapiro, Ltd. specialize in taking difficult cases to trial, when settlement is not possible.
While all attempts are made to settle cases prior to litigation and trial, sometimes it is simply not possible; and that’s where the team of lawyers at Benjamin & Shapiro, Ltd., has an edge over most law firms…courtroom and trial experience. Up until the Illinois Jury Verdict reporter stopped recording such statistics, Benjamin & Shapiro, Ltd., was (and most probably still is) among the top three Plaintiff’s law firms in terms of number of cases taken to jury trial each year since the statistic was recorded. Quite simply, there are few personal injury firms in Chicago that can boast the amount of trial experience that the lawyers at Benjamin & Shapiro, Ltd, can. This experience, combined with a strong will to help our clients recover all possible compensation, makes Benjamin & Shapiro, Ltd., the right choice to help those injured by another’s negligence in an auto accident, trucking accident, slip and fall, trip and fall, animal bite, medical malpractice, product’s liability, workmen’s compensation, or any other form of negligence (we’ve seen just about everything over the years!)
Another factor which separates Benjamin & Shapiro, Ltd., is our ability and desire to help clients outside of Cook County. Unlike many personal injury firms based in the Chicago Loop, the team of lawyers at Benjamin & Shapiro, Ltd., handles many cases outside of Cook County. Whether the case is in Lake County, Will County, DuPage County, Kane County, Kankakee County, or elsewhere in the State of Illinois, our lawyers will work tirelessly to ensure the best possible outcome through settlement with the insurance company of the negligent party, with the negligent party himself, or through litigation up to and including a trial by jury.
Contact us today if you or a loved one has been injured and needs legal assistance with any of the following:
- Transportation Litigation
- Legal Malpractice
- Medical Malpractice
- Animal Attacks
- Products Liability
- Premises Liability
- Workers Compensation
Whether you believe your case is the proverbial "slam dunk" (it never is), or even if you think "there is no way I can ever recover for this injury" (there generally is a way). Benjamin & Shapiro, Ltd., are a group of experienced lawyers who can help you recover the most possible compensation for your injuries. As our basketball jersey says under our logo: Benjamin & Shapiro, Ltd., Experience in and on the Court!
