Among the hundreds of clients Mr. Lipkin has successfully represented as an Illinois personal injury attorney:

  • 31 yr old woman received $2.5 million after her doctor failed to follow up on an MRI ordered to determine the source of her severe low back pain. A two day delay in learning the results of the MRI, and making a referral to a neurosurgeon resulted in permanent neurologic injury to the ultra sensitive spinal nerves, with bowel/bladder and walking problems.
  • 52 yr old woman received $1.13 million after a cubicle wall improperly secured to the floor fell on her, while loading her work materials into an open pull-out drawer.

  • 36 yr old woman, an admitted drug and alcohol addict, wandered about the middle of a busy street at night while under the influence, and was struck by a car, sustaining massive injuries.
