Chicago Personal Injury Lawyers
Skilled Representation for Victims of Accidents in Cook, Kane, McHenry, and DuPage Counties
Being seriously injured in an accident is a traumatic and life-changing experience. All too often, these injuries are the result of the recklessness, carelessness or negligence of another party. When a responsible party is not held fully accountable for the harm they cause to others, it teaches them the wrong lesson and tacitly encourages them to continue their harmful behavior. If you or a loved one has suffered a personal injury as a result of another party's negligence, it is important to work with seasoned attorneys who are committed to fighting hard for full compensation.
Since 1997, the award-winning attorneys at Winters Salzetta O'Brien & Richardson, LLC have represented victims of personal injury and wrongful death in Chicago, throughout Illinois, and across the nation. We have been recognized by our peers for being at the forefront of the personal injury field, and we have secured millions of dollars in awards for our clients.
We handle all types of cases; from the simplest car accident to multi-vehicle pileups, aviation accidents, medical malpractice suits, premises liability cases, product liability cases, civil rights violations, and much more. We are also on the cutting edge of new areas of the law; such as Uber accidents and accidents involving other ride share services. We are skilled litigators inside the courtroom, and strong negotiators outside of court. No matter what type of injury you have suffered, we are committed to providing the experienced representation you deserve.
At Winters Salzetta O'Brien & Richardson, LLC, personal injury is personal to us.

Personal Injury Lawyers Who Understand Loss
Personal injury is an area of the law that hits home for us. One of our founding members lost his father in a truck accident, and we know first-hand the devastating impact these types of accidents can have on a family. For this reason, we work hard to ensure the legal process is as smooth and seamless as possible. Our consultations are free, and we are willing to travel even on evenings and weekends to the location that is most convenient to discuss your case. We also take all our cases on a contingency basis, so you never have to pay attorney fees unless we win your case.
Where Collaboration and Technology Come Together
One of the things that set us apart as a personal injury firm is our collaborative approach and widespread use of state-of-the-art technology within our practice. We work as a team on each case; bringing the unique backgrounds and skill sets of each attorney to craft innovative and practical solutions to meet the needs of our clients. We also maintain an online library that can be updated in real time from anywhere in the world. This gives us our attorneys the ability to travel to all parts of Illinois and beyond to effectively serve our clients.
