As personal injury lawyers in Chicago, Illinois, Caras Law Group often obtains large verdicts or settlements for clients that have been advised by other attorneys that they have no case. Attorney Dean Caras and his associates 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. 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 we dug deeper and fought his case, obtaining a successful verdict providing him with justice and a financial award. 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. Show less
