Westmont, Illinois Personal Injury Lawyer

Many chose to relocate to the Village of Westmont, Illinois, to get away from the hustle and bustle of metropolitan life. However, over the past decade, the village has seen significant growth. This has resulted in more construction projects, more traffic and an overall increase in the number of people out and about. Additionally, there has been a corresponding increase in the number of preventable accidents.

At the Fotopoulos Law Office, our Westmont, Illinois personal injury lawyer has been a staple of the community for over two decades, helping injured residents overcome their injuries and obtain the compensation they need to move on with their lives. We understand that life is hectic, especially after being involved in an accident, and the thought of pursuing a lawsuit against another person or business may seem like a lot to take on. However, Attorney John Fotopoulos has developed a reputation for making the recovery process as straightforward as possible while achieving the best possible result in each case.

A personal injury lawsuit is a civil claim through which a person who was injured in an accident seeks compensation from the at-fault party for their accident-related expenses. Almost all personal injury cases are based on the theory of negligence. In this context, negligence has a specific legal meaning which consists of four parts.

1. Another person owed the victim a duty of care;
2. The other person violated the duty of care that they owed to the victim;
3. The other person’s actions caused the victim’s injuries; and
4. The victim suffered legally recognizable damages.

Personal injury cases may be appropriate after any type of preventable accident, including car accidents, dog bites, on-the-job accidents, and more.

At the Fotopoulos Law Office, we proudly represent accident victims and their families in all types of personal injury cases, including but not limited to the following:

• Motor Vehicle Accidents,
• Slip and Falls
• Medical Malpractice
• Construction Accidents
• Workplace Accidents
• Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
• Wrongful Death
• Sexual Abuse
• Defective Products

While each type of case is very different, they all share one thing in common: an innocent victim suffers serious injury due to another’s negligent, reckless or intentional actions.
