Personal Injury & Workers' Compensation Attorney in Elgin, Illinois
James P. Leahy
Attorney at Law
I'm a proud graduate of the Loyola University Chicago School of Law. I've dedicated over 45 years to supporting my personal injury clients in any way I can, from helping them file their insurance claims to pursuing fair financial settlements. I never back down from a fight, and I promise that when you work with me, your health, your well-being, and your future will be my top priorities.
I advocate for people in some of their most difficult moments.
Even if your job comes with safety risks, an injury at work should never be brushed aside. You deserve financial remedy to compensate for lost wages and any other damages. I'm here to help you seek it.
Dog bites, slip-and-falls, and other premises liability accidents must be taken seriously. I'll put up a strong fight against the insurance defense and vigorously represent your right to a fair settlement.
Insurance companies are supposed to help, but they really just want to pay as little as they can. I'm a lawyer who will listen to your interests and pursue the highest compensation you can get.
Representing a Wide Range of Injuries
Sure, accidents happen, but that doesn't mean they should have the power to ruin your life. Whether you've been minorly or traumatically injured by a faulty product, car crash, or another form of recklessness, you can trust me to handle your case with care.
Hurt on the Job?
Let me help you protect your rights in Illinois.
