Firm: Attorney Dean Caras

320 West Illinois , Chicago , Illinois 60654

Practice Areas: Personal Injury

We often obtain large verdicts or awards for clients that have been advised by other attorneys that they have no case.  We recognize the frustration that people feel when they know they have been injured or lost their jobs as a result of someone else’s actions, yet cannot find a voice to represent them.  Recently, we obtained a record verdict in the State of 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 fought his case through to a successful verdict providing him with justice and a financial award.  In that instance, our client often reminded us that it was as important to him that a jury hear his case and rule in his favor as it was the financial award that he received.. VERDICTS and SETTLEMENTS. Surgery Center / Medical Malpractice: $5,200,000 record verdict against the Surgery Center for negligently discharging plaintiff without providing instructions on how to take care of herself and symptoms to watch for.  The doctor had provided orders that he see his patients before release and the unqualified staff failed to follow the doctor's strict orders.. Medical Malpractice/Brachial Plexus Birth Injury:  $1.4 Million recovery for young girl that received a right arm brachial plexus injury at birth.  The Obstetrician claimed the proper maneuvers were used and the proper amount of traction was applied.  However, during discovery it was proven that the Obstetrician used a maneuver that was not a proper maneuver and it was this maneuver that caused the injury.  The matter settled during trial.
