Since our founding in 1990, Munday & Nathan has established a reputation as one of the most accomplished and respected firms in the Chicago area for medical malpractice litigation. However, our practice goes far beyond that.
Our experienced, caring attorneys are dedicated to helping people in Winnebago, Lake, Will, Kane, Cook, Fulton, Sangamon, McHenry, and surrounding counties who have suffered major injury due to negligence get as close to full financial compensation as possible. In addition, we have strong relationships with lawyers throughout Illinois that gives us a statewide reach. Nobody who has suffered harm because of someone else’s avoidable mistake should bear the financial burden of the resulting medical treatment, lost wages, emotional trauma and other damages.
The types of cases our personal injury lawyers have successfully litigated include, but are not limited to:
Many of the most serious car accidents happen because one of the drivers involved acted negligently. If you have experienced life-altering injuries or lost a loved one due to someone driving drunk, driving while distracted, running a red light, or otherwise acting carelessly behind the wheel, we are prepared to represent you.
Our firm has represented victims of some of the most complex and heartbreaking car accidents in the region, including one case where we successfully sued the municipality in which a wreck occurred because of improper placement of a traffic sign. Our client, who was pregnant at the time, was hit by a driver who failed to see the sign warning of a curve in the road. The impact to our client’s vehicle caused brain damage to her unborn child. This is just one example of our history of litigating cases against cities and towns with unsafe signage or road conditions that led to terrible collisions.
Chicago-area motorcycle riders regularly face several hazards. These include drivers who follow too closely, fail to yield on left turns, and otherwise fail to respect motorcyclists’ safety. Other motorcycle wreck cases we have litigated involved unsafe road conditions caused by municipal negligence or unmaintained vehicles. In one such case we handled, our client crashed into a truck that didn’t have working taillights.
It is a sad fact that motorcycle accident victims are more likely to be permanently disabled or killed than people in cars, trucks, and SUVs. Munday & Nathan litigates the most severe motorcycle crash cases and pursues every avenue of compensation for our clients.
The huge semis and tankers travelling through the Dan Ryan Expressway, I-80, the Eisenhower Expressway, the Edens, and the rest of the Chicago area’s busy highways can cause terrible damage if the driver loses control.
We hold truckers responsible when they cause a crash due to inattention or dangerous actions. We also litigate against the trucking companies for their role in causing the crash, such as hiring a trucker with a poor driving record, failing to train an inexperienced driver, failing to keep the truck in good working order, or forcing the driver to skip rest breaks and drive while exhausted.
When a product you use is defective due to mistakes in design or manufacturing, your health could be at risk. Defective drugs, automobile parts, food, tools, and other goods can cause terrible harm and potentially death.
The law holds companies liable for the harm they cause their customers when they sell them defective products. Our attorneys take on large and complex product liability litigation on behalf of those who suffered needless illness and injury. For example, we have sued automakers over defective braking systems and for putting the wrong sized tires on their vehicles, which led to a rollover accident that cost two lives and paralyzed a third person.
This is the largest part of our practice and the area for which Munday & Nathan are best known. Our reputation goes well beyond the Chicago area. Satisfied clients and attorney colleagues refer cases to us nationwide because we litigate the most complex cases involving highly technical evidence. These cases require expert testimony and devastating injuries. These are cases that few law firms are prepared to handle with our level of detail and commitment to the client.
