Law Firm Overview FREE CONSULTATION

At Ankin Law Office, our Chicago injury attorneys are dedicated to helping victims recover from personal injury and workers compensation accidents as well as qualifying for social security disability benefits. Our Illinois lawyers are experienced, results-driven, and passionate about what they do.

It is because our team of lawyers, paralegals and staff are dedicated to our clients' well being that other lawyers, former clients and doctors refer people who have been injured to our office. Talk to one of our attorneys and you will immediately feel confident in the level of service and professionalism you can expect from the Ankin Law Office.

Nowhere is that commitment more evident than in our work ethic. Few firms, if any, work harder or provide better service; our attorneys are regularly trying cases in Cook County, DuPage County, Lake County and throughout the state. Our lawyers take the time to explain the complicated legal issues, whether it makes sense to try your case or settle it, how the process works, and what you can expect from the courts, the Illinois Workers Compensation Commission, or the social security disability administrative judges.

We believe our clients deserve the best medical attention available. No amount of financial recovery is sufficient to compensate for poor medical care. Our law firm can help you identify good hospitals, caring doctors, and the best specialists. In addition, we strive to develop a vocational plan for our clients who have lost their job as a result of their injury. Our clients often receive desirable settlement offers because we aggressively investigate and prosecute every case. Insurance companies know that our firm will be ready for trial and that all issues have been thoroughly investigated, researched and considered.

Whether injured in a DuPage County car accident (an Illinois personal injury); on the job injury in Waukegan (an Illinois workers compensation claim); at a Cook County hospital by a negligent doctor, nurse or other health care provider (an Illinois medical malpractice lawsuit); or elsewhere and can no longer work because of temporary or permanent injuries (an Illinois social security disability claim), you can depend on our law firm to provide first-class service and superior results.

- Wrongful Death

In an instant, your life can be drastically changed by the death of a loved one. It is one thing to agree with this statement, but it's another thing to be prepared for the impact death has on you and your loved ones. The wrongful death lawyers at Ankin Law Offices LLC in Chicago and Peoria, Illinois are competent and compassionate attorneys. We cannot reverse the wrongs committed, but we can help you recover damages in wrongful or accidental death lawsuits. In Illinois wrongful death cases, it is essential that you get legal advice immediately. A fatal accident can make you vulnerable, but do not let grief take away your legal rights. The people who were responsible for the wrongful death of your loved one are aware of their legal responsibilities. Insurance companies will send the proverbial "wolf in sheep's clothing" to persuade you to settle at minimal financial loss for themselves. Remember, our wrongful death lawyers know you deserve better than settling for second best.

- Social Security Disability

Social Security disability benefits are available if you are unable to “work for pay” for at least 12 consecutive months due to illness or injury. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a federal program that is funded by payroll taxes. It was designed as a safety net for disabled workers to provide regular income to live on. Obtaining Social Security benefits can be challenging, however, and it is wise to hire an experienced attorney to help you with your claim.

- Class Action Lawsuits

Class action lawsuits come in many different types. Some are more commonly seen than others, however. Some of the most common ones include: Antitrust; Aviation; Consumer Protection; Employment Discrimination; Environmental and Toxic Exposures; Product Liability; Securities and Investment Fraud; Insurance Fraud; Wage and Overtime; Whistleblower Actions; and Mass Torts. Unsafe pharmaceutical cases, which fall under product liability, are among the most commonly known type of class action lawsuit. Drug companies often face suits for misinforming the public about a drug or for injuries or deaths attributable to a drug. If you have a potential class action lawsuit, the Chicago-based attorneys at Ankin Law Office can help you begin the process.
