Our Personal Injury Services
Michael focuses exclusively on personal injury and wrongful death cases. These are the four core areas of his practice:
Accidents + Liability
We handle cases involving negligent drivers, property owners, and third parties responsible for unsafe conditions — including car accidents, slip + fall injuries, dog bites, and workplace incidents.
Nursing Home Neglect
If your loved one was harmed in a long-term care facility due to abuse or neglect, Michael J. Brennan can help you hold the nursing home accountable and protect others from future harm.
Medical Malpractice
Medical errors can have devastating effects. If you were misdiagnosed, injured during surgery, or harmed by negligent care, we’re here to investigate and pursue the justice you deserve.
Catastrophic Injuries
Some injuries leave a permanent mark. We help clients recover after traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, burns, dog attacks, or wrongful death caused by someone else’s carelessness.
Common Personal Injury + Accident Quesitons
How do I know if I have a personal injury case?
If you were injured because of someone else’s negligence — whether in a vehicle accident, on unsafe property, or through medical care — you may have a valid claim. Michael offers free consultations to help you understand your options.
Do you handle workers’ compensation claims?
No. Michael does not handle workers’ comp cases. However, if your injury at work was caused by a third party (like a contractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer), you may have a separate personal injury claim.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Most personal injury claims in Illinois must be filed within two years of the incident. However, some claims (especially those involving government agencies or minors) may have different rules. Don’t wait to get legal advice.
Will I work directly with Michael?
Yes. At this firm, there are no middlemen or junior lawyers. Michael handles every case personally and keeps you informed every step of the way.
What does it cost to hire Michael J. Brennan?
There’s no upfront cost. You only pay if we recover compensation for you.
