We are very happy to announce a recent $210,000.00 settlement on a premises liability case. This case arose out of a slip and fall on poorly shoveled snow/ice at a small hotel. Snow and ice cases can be incredibly difficult to prove negligence. Comparative negligence of your client is always a talking point for defense. However, we had enough negligence here to back the insurance company into the corner for a fantastic offer. The client is THRILLED- and that is all we can ask for!

*LAKE BLUFF BBQ SOCIETY REPOST*

āš–ļøšŸ– **Sponsor + Team Spotlight: The Law Offices of Michael W. Kopsick & Sequestered Swine** šŸ–āš–ļø

Weā€™re proud to have **The Law Offices of Michael W. Kopsick** as Ribfestā€™s Premiere Sponsor.

For nearly 15 years, Michael has represented injured people in serious cases involving wrongful death, construction negligence, car accidents, medical malpractice, nursing-home negligence, and more. He is also proud to serve the Lake Bluff community that raised him.

But on October 3, there will be a different kind of case before him:

**Sequestered Swine v. Everybody Else.**

This team of old LFHS friends grew up coming to Ribfest, watching their friendsā€™ dads compete, and apparently taking notes for a future hostile takeover of the standings. Some of those original teams are still aroundā€”which is unfortunate for them, because Sequestered Swine is coming for the #1 spot. šŸ”„

Their opening argument: ribs.
Their supporting evidence: more ribs.
Their requested relief: the giant trophy. šŸ†

The rest of the field is encouraged to seek counsel.

Pumped for another Rib Fest (Lake Bluff BBQ Society Ribfest)! Hope to see everyone on October 3rd!

75 5-star Google Reviews!!

I am so incredibly thankful to have hit a nice milestone of 75 5-star Google reviews, all from satisfied clients and prospective clients. The reviews that mean the most to me are the individuals who call to ask about a potential case, where it turns out there isnā€™t one. I place high priority on taking whatever amount of time is necessary to fully advise these prospective clients as to the best path forward.

A horror story that I will never forget is when I was at a firm in my earlier years (a very quick stop...) and my boss consistently hung up on prospective clients once he knew they didnā€™t have a case his firm could take. It honestly made my stomach turn. To not be able to give a client a few minutes of ā€˜freeā€™ legal advice made me sick.

Now that Iā€™m running my own shop, I will often spend 20 or 30 minutes, and/or multiple phone calls with clients I am certain I cannot represent, but that need help nonetheless. This is something I swore to myself I would do when I ran the show ā€” and that type of service will never stop at my office.

When I see a review left from a client like this ā€” it means the world. And now you know why.

75 Google reviewsā€¦AND COUNTING! Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to leave some kind words-these words keep me going!

We are thrilled to announce a recent $285,000 settlement. This was a dog bite case where our client, while performing yard work, was attacked by his neighborā€™s dog. Heā€™s sustained bite injuries to his leg, and also an aggravation of lower back injuries.

This case went to mediation, and we were forced to walk away from negotiations when the defense wouldnā€™t budge on their number. After a few weeks of back-and-forth, the defense came up another $70,000.00, which put us over the edge.

A lot of patience and a lot of hard work, but both the firm and the client are very happy to have this one done.

We were able to negotiate an extra $1,000 for the clientā€™s medical payments, and snuck in the cost of mediation, which saved our client a few extra thousand dollars.

Every dollar counts!

We are very excited to announce two very recent six-figure settlements. Our $325,000.00 settlement involves a slip on a freshly mopped barbershop floor. We were able to prove that the shop owner had notice of his employee mopping with customers in the store- which was against store policy. Our client suffered a torn hamstring which required surgery.

The $275,000.00 settlement involves a medical malpractice case. Our client underwent a hysterectomy, and after six months of pain and discomfort, learned of a fistula that had developed/occured, and was thereafter ignored/not detected by her surgeon.

Both results involved very serious injuries, and we are very relieved to have provided some financial relief for our clients.

We are very excited to announce a recent $100,000.00 settlement. While defense did settle for the policy limits, this case was incredibly difficult to prove, as multiple witnesses indicated that our client was walking through an intersection on a red light.

With some elbow grease and good old fashioned lawyering, we were able to convince the attorney that our case was strong enough to warrant the entire policy.

We are grateful for this one to be behind us, and on to the next!
