For over 60 years, Cooney & Conway has stood as a trusted advocate for injury victims across the United States. From our Chicago headquarters, we've built a legacy of fighting for individuals who have suffered serious injuries, recovering over $7 billion for our clients throughout our history. Our mission has remained unwavering: we represent people, never corporations, ensuring our focus stays solely on helping injury victims rebuild their lives.
The Complex Nature of Serious Injuries
When we talk about serious injuries, we're addressing life-altering events that reshape not just months, but years or even decades of a person's life. A catastrophic injury brings profound changes that ripple through every aspect of daily living. These injuries often require extensive medical intervention, from emergency care to long-term rehabilitation. Many of our clients find themselves navigating a complex web of medical appointments, therapy sessions, and lifestyle adjustments they never anticipated needing.
The impact of a serious injury extends far beyond physical pain. Consider how a traumatic brain injury affects not just cognitive function, but emotional regulation, personal relationships, and the ability to work. Spinal injuries might require home modifications, specialized equipment, and ongoing care assistance. Even injuries that might seem less severe initially, such as complex fractures or nerve damage, can lead to chronic pain and permanent limitations that transform a person's quality of life.
Understanding Your Rights After an Injury
The legal framework surrounding personal injury claims exists to protect victims and ensure they receive fair compensation for their losses. At Cooney & Conway, our team of 24 experienced attorneys has spent decades mastering the intricacies of personal injury law. We understand that each case represents not just a legal claim, but a person's life, health, and future wellbeing.
When we evaluate a personal injury case, we look at the full spectrum of impacts. Medical expenses form just one part of the equation. We consider the cost of future care, lost earning potential, necessary lifestyle modifications, and the profound effect on quality of life. Our experience has shown that insurance companies often undervalue these long-term impacts, which is why having knowledgeable legal representation becomes crucial for securing fair compensation.
Our Comprehensive Approach to Personal Injury Cases
The scope of personal injury law is vast. As such, we've developed deep expertise across multiple areas. We regularly handle cases involving automobile and trucking accidents, where the complexity of multiple parties and insurance companies requires careful navigation. Our work with construction site accidents has given us intimate knowledge of workplace safety regulations and liability issues. We've successfully represented victims of medical malpractice, understanding the intricate dance between medical standards of care and legal obligations.
Premises liability cases, from slip-and-fall incidents to inadequate security situations, require proving property owner negligence. Our attorneys excel at gathering the necessary evidence and building compelling cases. We've helped victims of nursing home abuse find justice, holding facilities accountable for substandard care. Aviation accidents, boating incidents, and other specialized areas each bring their own unique challenges, which our experienced team is well-equipped to handle.
The Path to Recovery
Recovery from a serious injury isn't just about physical healing - it's about rebuilding a life. This process often requires significant financial resources, which is why securing proper compensation becomes crucial. At Cooney & Conway, we've seen firsthand how adequate compensation can make the difference between struggling through recovery and having the resources needed for proper care and adaptation.
Our approach to handling personal injury cases reflects our understanding of this reality. We work closely with medical experts to understand the full scope of our client's injuries and future needs. Our team dedicates itself to documenting every aspect of the injury's impact, from obvious medical expenses to more subtle quality-of-life changes. This thorough approach has helped us secure thousands of settlements exceeding $1 million for our clients.

When you're dealing with a serious injury, experience matters. Over our six decades of practice, we've built a deep understanding of how to effectively represent injury victims.
