Personal Injury Claims
We represent clients injured in accidents caused by negligence, including car crashes, slip-and-falls, and defective products. Our attorneys negotiate with insurance companies and litigate cases to secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. With decades of experience, we provide strategic legal guidance tailored to each client's unique circumstances.
Workers' Compensation
Our firm handles workplace injury cases involving construction accidents, machinery malfunctions, and occupational illnesses. We help clients navigate Illinois workers' comp laws to recover benefits for medical treatment, disability, and lost income. We advocate for injured workers' rights while ensuring compliance with state-specific regulations and filing requirements.
Medical Malpractice
We pursue cases involving surgical errors, misdiagnoses, and birth injuries caused by healthcare provider negligence. Our team works with medical experts to establish standard-of-care violations and quantify long-term damages. We focus on complex cases requiring thorough investigation and courtroom-ready preparation to achieve favorable settlements or verdicts.
Car Accident Cases
We handle motor vehicle accident cases involving cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Our attorneys investigate crash scenes, review police reports, and consult accident reconstruction specialists to determine liability. We seek compensation for vehicle damage, medical bills, and emotional trauma while managing interactions with insurance adjusters on behalf of our clients.
Traumatic Brain Injuries
Our firm specializes in catastrophic injury cases resulting from severe head trauma. We collaborate with neurologists and rehabilitation specialists to document long-term impacts on cognitive function and quality of life. We pursue comprehensive settlements covering lifetime medical care, lost earning capacity, and diminished enjoyment of life through detailed economic analysis and expert testimony.

Scott Goldstein handled my husband's workers compensation case in a very positive and professional manner. It was a challenging case and he saw it through to the end with a settlement we were extremely happy with and made sure all medical bills were taken care of by the wc carrier. He responded to all our questions and issues with patience and diligence I would recommend him to anyone with wc case.

Ankin law had a very competent staff, looking out for the best interest of the client. After my case was over I had filled out a survey provided by Ankin with some remarks of dissatisfaction. A very important follow up call was made to me explaining the process and why certain things were handled the way they were. Which ended up being in my best interest. This was only to my negligence for not asking during the case. I would recommend Ankin Law to anybody pursuing a case.
