I found the law practice of what was at the time, Turcy and Chute, to be very efficient, knowledgeable and committed in the specialty of Personal Injury Law. As a recipient of their guidance and perseverance, I was very pleased with their communication, explanations and the ultimate positive verdict. For over three years, Tom Chute and staff shared their professionalism, belief and expertise in my case. I would not hesitate to recommend them to others.
Mike took care of my case and I’m thankful for all of the help, time, and effort he put forth for me. Any time I had questions, Mike was always there to answer and then answer them again if I needed further clarification. Nobody really wants to be put in this position and dealing with a process like mine, but if you absolutely have to, go with him.
I had the pleasure of working with attorney Tom Grace on my deceased father’s personal injury case. Tom was very prompt in all of his communications, he never left us guessing what was going on or where we were in the process, he offered up his honest opinion when it was decision making time and lastly he ensured this case wasn’t dragged out. I would highly appreciate his customer service and would absolutely recommend Tom Grace and the Chute, O’Malley, Knobloch & Turcy team.
AMAZING! I highly recommend this group. We had quite an unusual case, this group was our only glimmer of hope when our options were limited and no one would accept a complicated case. We worked closely with Colin O’Malley and his team. Words cannot do justice to how wonderful they are; highly competent, professional, very responsive, thorough and friendly. Colin went above and beyond to make himself available and to answer all our questions and concerns. If you need an excellent proficient injury lawyer that would fight for you, look no further!
Tom Grace is an amazing attorney. I highly recommend him, he was very professional, caring, and very detailed when explaining the status of my case. I was very pleased with my settlement especially during a time like this with this cover-19 going on. He managed to get things done in a timely manner and always kept me in the wraps with my case. Thank You so very much! I really appreciated it. If anyone needs a lawyer, Tom Grace is the guy to go to. Very good job!
How Do I Determine the Value of a Wrongful Death Case?
The other day I was asked, in Naperville, “How do you evaluate a wrongful death case?” In other words, how do you put a price on someone’s life? This is one of the most difficult questions that, as a personal injury lawyer, we can be asked. The place we first start is what does the law allow? The law allows you to be compensated for the economic loss that you’ve suffered. In other words, if they’re the main wage-earner in the house, the person that made the money, you’re entitled to the lifetime of income that that person would’ve earned and helped benefit the family. You’re also entitled to the non-job type things that a person contributes to a family— in other words, the love, the support, the education, the training that can be provided to siblings and to children. All of those things are also compensable. Lastly, in Illinois, you are compensated for what we call grief and sorrow. In other words, you can and will receive money for your grief and sorrow. You’re allowed to tell the jury about more than just the wages that you’ve lost or the financial hardship that you’ve had; you’re given an opportunity to explain to the jury what this loss has meant to you and your family from an emotion. If you have any questions about what you might be entitled to because of the death of a family member, please feel free to give us a call.
