Clifford Law Offices represents many people in personal
injury actions. For example, they represented an employee of a major department
store who was severely burned in an explosion in the north suburbs of Chicago.
Accident lawyers from the Chicago law firm also represented a critically
injured victim in an explosive power plant fire in Indiana. Lawyers at the
personal injury firm also represented those involved in a gas explosion at a
suburban home. There are different degrees of fault and several elements are
necessary to prove in court, in order to be successful against the wrongdoer in
a tort action. Clifford Law Offices determines if the accident or injury is
potentially recoverable in a court of law. Consulting one of the experienced
Clifford Chicago personal injury lawyers will provide a sound basis on whether
to pursue an action in court.
In other Illinois personal injury actions, Clifford Law
Offices represented Rob Komosa, a teenager who was tackled into a goal post and
then tragically became a quadriplegic. The high school field where it happened
has since moved the goal post further from the field and has added padding to
the steel post. Rob has bravely gone on to try to help other quadriplegics.
Also, Robert Clifford received a $14.2 million verdict for an 11-year-old Boy
Scout who was injured while on an outing in a forest preserve, as reported in
the Chicago Sun-Times. Mr. Clifford also was awarded a record amount for a
21-year-old swimmer who was rendered a paraplegic when he broke his neck in a
diving accident, according to the Chicago press. Robert Clifford also received
a $29.6 million verdict following a month-long trial on behalf of Rachel
Barton, an internationally-acclaimed violinist who was severely injured in a
commuter train accident. An experienced train accident lawyer is a must in
complex litigation, and our experience with Metra and Amtrak accidents is an
asset to victims in these cases.
