If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident or are unable to work as a result of an injury or illness, you likely have many questions that require direct, honest answers from an experienced lawyer. At Woodruff Johnson Evans and Haugen Law Offices, our team of Illinois personal injury attorneys has more than 100 years of combined legal experience handling all types of personal injury cases. Our firm strives to provide outstanding legal representation to individuals who have been injured in or around Aurora. We are prepared to be your trusted guide and aggressive advocate throughout the process.
We hear the phrase “personal injury” often, but what does it really mean? Simply put, a personal injury or tort is a private or civil wrong for which the court will provide a remedy in the form of an action for money damages. In other words, if you are wrongfully injured (for example, through the negligent actions of another person), you may be entitled to recover financial compensation for your damages.
If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident, you are entitled to compensation for everything from your medical bills, to lost wages, for pain and suffering, and multiple other damages. But how do you get the justice and compensation you deserve? How do you deal with the insurance companies, the legal system, and the stress of your situation? Especially if you are dealing with insurance companies, medical providers, and liable parties who may try to deny or minimize your claim?
Even a minor accident can have disastrous effects on the human body. Ultimately, it does not take a high-speed collision or a fall from a significant height to cause a serious injury. Many factors contribute to the severity of an injury. If you or your loved one was seriously injured in an accident, our firm can thoroughly examine your case and work with your doctor to determine if your injury will have long-lasting or life-changing effects.
Doctors, nurses, and other medical practitioners have a duty to provide patients with a reasonable standard of care. In fact, the primary duty of medical professionals is summed up in the Latin phrase, primum non nocere, meaning, “Do no harm.” Unfortunately, medical professionals do not always follow this standard of care. The results can be devastating for victims and their families. When a doctor, nurse, hospital, clinic, or other healthcare professional or facility acts negligently, the victim or his/her family can take legal action.
Product designers, manufacturers, and distributors have a duty to create products that are reasonably safe for consumer use. Despite this, however, many companies prioritize profits over consumer safety and push unsafe products onto the market. Every year, thousands of people are injured or killed by dangerous or defective products that never should have reached the marketplace.
Wrongful death is when a person is killed due to the negligence of another person. There is no greater tragedy than the sudden, unexpected loss of a loved one. When your loved one’s death could have—and should have—been prevented, the healing process can be even more difficult. While we cannot bring your loved one back, our firm can help you work to hold the responsible parties accountable for your loved one’s death. At Woodruff Johnson & Evans Law Offices, we know that financial compensation will not negate your suffering, but it can assist with the unexpected cost of funeral expenses, loss of income, and other economic and non-economic damages associated with your loved one’s death.
There are few things worse than discovering your elderly parent, grandparent, or loved one is the victim of negligence. However, if you even suspect that something is wrong, it is important that you act quickly in order to put an end to the abuse. Our nursing home negligence attorneys can help you take legal action against the liable parties to recover the compensation you are owed and help ensure that similar abuse does not occur again in the future.
Even a minor accident can have disastrous effects on the human body. Ultimately, it does not take a high-speed collision or a fall from a significant height to cause a serious injury. Many factors contribute to the severity of an injury. If you or your loved one was seriously injured in an accident, our firm can thoroughly examine your case and work with your doctor to determine if your injury will have long-lasting or life-changing effects.
If you have been injured or your loved one has been killed by a dangerous or defective product, you may be able to collect monetary damages for injuries, medical treatment, lost income/wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and more.

When an adult is injured in an accident, the impact can be tremendous. When a child suffers a catastrophic injury in such an accident, it is even more devastating. Many children who are seriously injured will require lasting treatment. In some cases, injury to a child can affect them for a lifetime. If your child has been seriously injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, it is critical that you seek help from an experienced child injury lawyer.
