Chicago, Illinois, Brain Injury and Accident Attorney
If you or a loved one has experienced a brain injury, who better to understand the injuries than a licensed attorney who is also a board certified and practicing physician?
Lawyer John Obert-Hong of John Obert-Hong & Associates has practiced medicine since 1992, and has practiced medical malpractice and personal injury law since 2000. As a practicing lawyer and family medicine doctor, Dr. Obert-Hong is able to quickly understand the extent of brain injuries and potential future medical problems, and to establish liability in personal injury and medical malpractice claims.
We combine our legal and medical knowledge with the knowledge of economic experts and vocational rehabilitators to provide projections of future monetary damages and medical costs. Recent cases illustrate our ability to handle complex medical malpractice claims, and to recover compensation following traumatic brain injury (TBI) and head trauma:
- A hotel employee fell through a hole in a hotel floor, which the hotel staff had failed to properly cover. She hit her head, entered a coma and suffered permanent cognitive function damages, including loss of memory, inability to concentrate and depression. She is unable to work.
- A construction worker fell through a hole in a construction accident, experiencing permanent brain damage and vision loss, and a permanent inability to work.
- A family member died from a brain infection following surgery, after his doctor failed to correctly treat and diagnose the infection. The deceased's family believed he simply died from infection.
In each case, Dr. Obert-Hong's medical knowledge played a decisive role in proving causation, liability and damages, and in each case, a substantial confidential sum was obtained.
