Founding Partners Chet Cameron and Sam Carl of Midwest Injury Lawyers were proud to donate $15,000 to the Calumet Township Trustee’s Office to support food distribution and relief efforts for hundreds of households throughout Calumet Township, which includes much of the City of Gary, the hometown of Founding Partner Chet Cameron.

Many families across the township endured extended power outages, spoiled food, unexpected expenses, property losses, and other financial and personal hardships. We wanted to do something tangible to help families regain their footing.

We are grateful to the Calumet Township Trustee’s Office and everyone involved in getting food and assistance directly to residents who need it.

Residents are encouraged to follow the Office of the Calumet Township Trustee on social media for upcoming announcements regarding food distributions, relief efforts, and other available assistance:

Last night, CBS Chicago aired its report on the tragic death of Gene Rush while in the Porter County Jail.

We are honored to represent Gene’s family as they seek answers and accountability. Mr. Rush survived throat cancer and lived for years with a tracheostomy. According to the family, he repeatedly sought medical assistance while incarcerated but did not receive the lifesaving care his condition required.

We anticipate filing a federal civil rights lawsuit after completing our investigation. While we cannot comment on all of the evidence at this stage, we remain committed to following the facts wherever they lead and pursuing justice for Gene and his family.

We encourage everyone to watch CBS Chicago’s report:

Today, our Co-Founder and Partner, Chester “Chet” Cameron, Jr., had the honor of speaking at the Indiana Trial Lawyers Association seminar on Section 1983 civil rights litigation and why this work continues to matter now more than ever.

The Indiana Trial Lawyers Association is one of the premier organizations for plaintiff trial attorneys in the state, and it was a privilege for Chet to present alongside many of Indiana’s leading trial lawyers and advocates.

The presentation focused on the role civil rights litigation plays in holding institutions accountable, protecting constitutional rights, and pursuing justice in wrongful conviction, jail death, police misconduct, and jail medical care cases.

At Midwest Injury Lawyers, we are proud to continue fighting for individuals and families in complex civil rights and catastrophic injury cases throughout Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin.

We recently finished a jury trial in Marshall County, Iowa, a rural venue where the conventional wisdom is that juries dislike lawsuits and “Chicago lawyers” aren’t welcome.

The offer from defendant’s insurance company: $0.00
Verdict for our client: $450,000.00

We don’t care what kind of case it is or where it needs to be tried; if insurance companies won’t give our clients what they deserve, it’s our job to go take it from them.

We secured a $2.5 million settlement on behalf of our client who was rear-ended by a commercial truck operated by a national transportation company. The crash was caused by inattentive driving and resulted in serious injuries.

This result reflects relentless advocacy and a commitment to holding negligent drivers accountable. When catastrophic accidents happen, experience matters—and results speak for themselves.

At Midwest Injury Lawyers, we don’t back down from trucking companies or their insurers when our clients are hurt.

Fifteen years.

That’s how long Angel Diaz had his life taken from him by a system that failed him. No amount of money can give those years back—but today, I had the honor of placing a small piece of justice into his hands.

When I delivered that check, it wasn’t about the number. It was about accountability. It was about acknowledging the pain, the time lost, and the resilience it took for Angel to keep fighting when everything was stacked against him.

I also want to recognize Erickson Law—one of the best criminal post-conviction relief teams in the country—who won Angel’s exoneration. It was truly an honor and a pleasure to work alongside them on this case.

In my career, I’ve handled many cases—but this moment stands apart. Standing there with Angel, knowing what he endured and what it took to get here, reminded me exactly why I do this work. This was one of the most meaningful days of my professional life.

We will continue to stand up against abuse of power and fight for those who’ve been wronged—because no one should have their life taken from them without a relentless pursuit of justice to follow.
