Practice Areas Description

Our areas of practice include:

- Personal Injury

With more than 25 years of legal experience, I have handled hundreds of personal injury cases and wrongful death claims for clients and families in the Chicago area. No case is too complex for me to handle. Whether you suffered a back or neck injury, injuries in a car accident, broken bones in a motorcycle accident, burn injuries, a lost limb, or some other serious injury, I can help.

* Car Accidents

Auto accident cases can be highly complex. Knowing how to prepare a case and formulate and prove damages is a skill that comes with knowledge and experience. If you have been injured in a car accident, it is important to talk to an attorney as soon as possible. Evidence such as tire marks and eyewitness memories can fade over time. Consulting a lawyer early in the process of your case can better enable him or her to investigate and pursue your case.

* Truck Accidents

Given the severity of injuries in truck accident cases, it is critical that you hire an experienced personal injury attorney. There were 14,632 crashes involving tractor-trailers in Illinois in 2008. Although this was only a bit more than 3 percent of total crashes, it accounted for more than 10 percent of fatal accidents. Almost 100 drivers and passengers in cars, vans and small trucks were killed in collisions with tractor trailers, and more than 2,000 people suffered injuries. If you were injured in a truck crash or a family member was killed in a tractor trailer accident, Attorney Payonk can help.

* Motorcycle Accident

If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident and are looking for an attorney to handle your case, you may want an attorney who has specifically handled motorcycle accident cases. Motorcycle accident cases are significantly different from car accident and truck accident cases. Injuries often have a negative first impression of motorcyclists. Attorney James A. Payonk, Jr. has 25 years of legal experience, and he knows how to effectively handle all motor vehicle accident claims, including motorcycle accidents.

* Pedestrian Accidents

According to the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) there were 4,654 pedestrians killed as a result of an auto accident in 2007. The NHTSA reports that another 698 pedal cyclists (bicyclists/others) were fatally injured as a result of a car accident. If you have suffered an injury or a family member has been killed as a result of an auto/pedestrian accident, talk to Attorney James A. Payonk, Jr. He handles pedestrian accident and bicycle accident cases.

* Slip and Fall Accidents

Unreasonably slippery surfaces that are wet or icy are one example of a dangerous property condition, but there are many types of dangerous property conditions which lead to accidents. If you have suffered a slip and fall accident, you need to speak with an attorney. Individuals and business owners have a responsibility to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition for the good of public safety. People who have been injured in a slip and fall injury have a right to recover for their injuries if their injuries resulted from the dangerous property conditions of a negligent property owner.

* Medical Malpractice

An unsuccessful surgery or the failure of a medical treatment is not necessarily the result of medical malpractice or negligence. No one can guarantee a positive outcome in any medical case. The real measure of whether medical malpractice occurred is determining whether the health care provider exercised reasonable care. Medical Malpractice is negligence by a health care professional, clinic or hospital in the care and treatment provided to a patient. While we typically think of doctors, it can also include nurses, medical technicians, dentists, mental health therapists, anesthesiologists and other health care providers.

- Criminal Defense

I provide dedicated and experienced legal representation for people charged with a crime. Although I handle a wide range of criminal law matters, I concentrate primarily in cases involving felony charges. I represent adults and juveniles. I have defended clients in state and federal court. Some of the criminal law matters I handle include: Drug Charges; DUI/DWI; Arson; Felony theft/robbery/burglary; Murder/manslaughter; Weapons Violations; Aggravated assault; Vehicular homicide; and Kidnapping.

* Felonies

If you are facing felony charges in Chicago or the southwest suburbs, I encourage you to talk to me, Attorney James A. Payonk Jr. In my criminal law practice, I focus on felony criminal charges. Some attorneys shy away from felony cases due to the high stakes involved. I am an attorney who takes pride in helping clients facing serious legal challenges. I handle these and other felonies: Drug charges; Felony theft/burglary/robbery; Aggravated assault/battery; Murder/attempted murder/manslaughter; Vehicular homicide; Kidnapping; Weapons violation; Violent crimes.

* Drug Charges

If you have been charged with a drug crime in Chicago or the southwest suburbs, I can help. My name is James A. Payonk Jr. I am an experienced criminal defense lawyer who has successfully defended clients against a wide range of drug charges. Some of the drug charges I handle include: Drug possession; Possession with intent to deliver; Drug trafficking; Distribution; Manufacturing; Conspiracy charges. I have experience in representing clients in drug possession and drug trafficking cases. I provide an aggressive and vigorous defense on behalf of each client I represent.
