Catastrophic and Brain Injury Attorneys

Seidman Law Offices combines compassionate, attentive service with accomplished legal counsel to take care of the needs of clients with severe, life-altering injuries. Our Chicago, Illinois personal injury lawyers work for total compensation that covers not only the injury but the aftermath.

Working closely with clients over many months, we become a friend and counselor as well as their lawyer. Many clients stay in touch with our catastrophic and brain injury lawyers long after our legal duties are fulfilled.

Seidman Law Offices is based in downtown Chicago, representing clients throughout Cook County, Lake County, Kane County, DuPage County and Will County. We have obtained many substantial verdicts and settlements for clients, including numerous settlements of $1 million or more.

Major Accident, Brain Injury, and Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers
Seidman Law Offices represents victims of tragic injuries who require years or a lifetime of care, or accidents that suddenly leave them disabled. We have represented clients with severe burns, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injury (TBI), loss of sight or impaired vision, loss of limb or partial amputation, paralysis and other catastrophic injuries.

Life Care Plans and Total Compensation
Steve Seidman and his associates retain experts from a variety of fields to calculate the costs of anticipated care into the future of the victim. We account for surgeries, physical therapy, wheelchairs and medical equipment, modified vans, medications, and all related expenses.

Our detailed and extensively researched life care plans include lost wages and replacement of future income, as well as damages for loss of enjoyment. We spare no expense in preparing these cases – accident reconstruction, computer animation, and medical experts. We have found it very effective to assemble a “documentary” of the progression from the initial hospitalization through recovery and returning home. We try to illustrate the quality of life before and after the accident.

Maximum Recovery of Damages
We are always prepared for trial, and have taken several cases to a jury. However, our catastrophic accident and brain injury attorneys are able to settle most claims out of court because of the potential for large awards if a jury saw what our clients have endured. We never take a quick settlement – your full compensation is always our goal.
