Practice Areas

Do I have a personal injury lawsuit? Not every injury will result in a successful personal injury lawsuit. A successful case requires that an attorney be able to prove in court that another person or a company was at fault in causing the accident or worsening the injuries resulting from an accident. Fault may not be immediately apparent. An experienced Illinois injury lawyer at Madsen, Sugden & Gottemoller, with years of experience in assessing and trying personal injury cases, can provide you with a sound legal opinion about bringing a personal injury case to court.
