About Kennedy Watkins Injury Attorneys Chicago Personal Injury Lawyers

How Do We Handle Personal Injury Cases in Chicago?

Gathering evidence that tells your story. 

We collect evidence critical to your case, including police reports, emergency room records, surgical notes, and imaging studies. We also obtain security and traffic footage, 911 recordings, photos and videos of the scene, digital records and communications, and more before it disappears.

Finding the witnesses who matter. 

We track down eyewitnesses, first responders, and anyone who saw what happened. In accidents at dangerous intersections or busy highways like the Dan Ryan or Lake Shore Drive, witness testimony can make or break a claim.

Bringing in the right experts. 

Depending on your case, we work with accident reconstruction specialists, physicians who can explain the long-term impact of your injuries, economists who calculate lifetime lost earnings, and engineers who can identify product or building code failures.

Dealing with insurance companies so you do not have to. 

Insurers have teams of adjusters and lawyers whose job is to minimize what they pay you. We handle every call, every letter, and every lowball offer so you can focus on your health instead of fighting a corporation.

Preparing every case for trial. 

Most cases settle before a courtroom is involved. As trial lawyers, we prepare your case as if a jury will hear it, because that preparation is what pushes insurance companies to offer what your case is actually worth. When they refuse, we are ready to go to trial.

What Kind of Results Have We Achieved for Our Clients?

Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. But our case results reflect the preparation and commitment we bring to each claim.

Some of our notable recoveries include:

• $34,000,000 verdict in a wrongful death case from an apartment fire
• $10,000,000 recovery for a pedestrian struck by a CTA bus
• $8,500,000 verdict for a family whose son was shot by a Chicago police officer
• $7,500,000 recovery for a child injured by a surgical error
• $7,365,000 verdict for a family whose father died in a truck accident on the Dan Ryan Expressway

These results came from thorough preparation, strong expert networks, and our willingness to go to trial when insurance companies refused to pay what a case was worth.
