Landmark Decision for Caras Law Group: The Appellate Court ruled that in Illinois, employers can’t fire employees for refusing to consent to a life insurance policy on the employee’s life, where the employer is the only beneficiary.

The Illinois Supreme Court upheld the Appellate Court ruling, protecting Illinois employees from retaliation in the workplace for exercising their right to reject company owned life insurance coverage is the public policy of the state of Illinois.

We Dig Deeper! As personal injury lawyers in Chicago, Illinois, Caras Law Group often obtains large verdicts or settlements for clients that have been advised by other attorneys that they have no case.

Recently, we obtained a record verdict in Illinois for an individual who was wrongfully terminated from his job for filing a worker’s compensation case. His employer terminated him the day before he was to have surgery, leaving him disabled with no money coming in to support his family. We recognized the hardship that was caused by his employer, and we dug deeper and fought his case, obtaining a successful verdict providing him with justice and a financial award. Our client often reminded us that it was as important to him that a jury hear his case and rule in his favor as was the financial award that he received.

Our clients that have lost family members due to medical malpractice are typically at a loss for a reason for the unexpected death. Simple medical procedures resulting in death may not always be a result of the inherent risks, but because of negligence on the part of the medical providers during the procedure. The defendant medical providers strive to prove that everything within the standard of care was exercised, and that the death was a result of the risk they took. As malpractice attorneys, however, we believe that the facts of the case will nearly never coincide with the providers’ side of the story. Dean Caras promises that in every medical malpractice case, we will dig deeper and find the truth.

We recognize that the story of every person who has been injured or wronged deserves the chance to be heard by a jury in their search for justice, and we invite those who have been injured or whose rights have been violated to contact the personal injury and malpractice lawyers in Chicago at Caras Law Group today so that we can dig deeper and help you, as we have done for so many other people in the last 40 years. As an experienced Chicago Civil Rights Attorney, Chicago Personal Injury Attorney, and Chicago Medical Malpractice Attorney, Dean Caras takes pride in helping those who have nowhere else to turn.
