A fall in a nursing home is often more than an accident. When a facility fails to assess a resident's fall risk or ignores the precautions that could prevent it, the results can be devastating.

If you are a Chicago tradesman hurt on a job site, you are dealing with a lot more than the injury itself: time off work, medical bills, and worry about what comes next.

Jim Morici explains how injured workers can pursue both workers' compensation and, in many cases, a separate third-party claim when another company on the site shares the blame. We are proud to represent ironworkers, pipefitters, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, laborers, and operators. Watch the video and read the full post below. Consultations are always free.

Were you told your concussion would heal on its own, but weeks or months later you still have headaches, brain fog, or trouble sleeping? For some people, a “mild” concussion turns into something longer-lasting called post-concussion syndrome.

Jim Morici explains why these symptoms are easy for others, and for insurers, to overlook, and why they deserve to be taken seriously. Watch the video and read the full post below. If symptoms are still affecting your life, we offer free consultations.

After an accident, broken bones are easy to see. A brain injury often is not. Memory problems, headaches, trouble concentrating, and mood changes can show up days or weeks later and last far longer than people expect.

A crash with a semi or tractor-trailer is not like a typical fender bender. The injuries are often serious, and the evidence that proves what happened (logging data, maintenance records, witness accounts) can disappear within days.

Lisa Longo explains why acting quickly after a truck accident can make a real difference, and why these cases often involve more than just the driver. Watch the video and read the full post below. Our consultations are free if you need to talk through what happened.

After a truck crash, key evidence can vanish in days and multiple parties may be liable. Learn why early action matters and how our Chicago attorneys can help.

Morici, Longo & Associates secured a recovery exceeding $6 million on behalf of a Local 1 Ironworker who suffered a traumatic brain injury when a suspended load fell from a tower crane during the construction of a downtown Chicago high-rise.

The veteran ironworker, with more than 30 years of experience in the trade, was performing steel reinforcement work on a lower deck adjacent to an elevated crane pick point when an improperly rigged load became dislodged from the crane hook. The load struck the worker, rendering him unconscious and causing him to fall to the deck below.

The incident resulted in a mild traumatic brain injury with life-altering consequences. To this day, the worker continues to experience chronic headaches, dizziness, balance issues, speech difficulties, personality changes, cognitive deficits, and other symptoms commonly associated with traumatic brain injury.

Watch the short video and read the full post below. If your family is facing a loss like this, our consultations are always free.

The Chicago Personal Injury law firm of Morici, Longo and Associates has long represented construction workers injured or killed in falls from heights. Falls have long been one of the most frequent causes of work-related injuries in construction. Whether it be from a rooftop, scaffold, or unprotected floor opening OSHA 1926 promulgates standards, regulating worker protection.

This rule applies not only to new construction, but also to maintenance work and roofing. We recently filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Cook County on behalf of a roofer injured in June 2024 when he fell through a skylight in a roof surface in Countryside, Illinois. Incidents like his are not uncommon in Chicago and the Chicago suburbs, where many rooftops are not properly maintained and skylights have become outdated and their protective coverings deteriorate. In addition, many skylights are not protected by netting or barrier guards to prevent men falling onto them from falling breaking through and falling to the surface below.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a Chicago or suburban Cook County fall from heights in Park Ridge, Rosemont, Mount Prospect, Arlington Heights, or Palatine call us today. Consultations are always free and no legal fees are charged unless we recover. Our Personal Injury and Workers’ Compensation attorneys are standing by to talk with you.
