Our Job is to Help You Get Your Life Back

When an insurance company disputes your injury, they bring in their own doctors to explain it away. We don’t have to hire ours. Two of our trial attorneys are trained clinicians — a licensed physician and a respiratory therapist — and for 40 years, that’s made CHH the firm other Chicago law firms call when a case is too complicated to lose.

One Standard of Proof

Unexpected injuries can devastate. Turn your life upside down. What you need in such moments isn’t a hammer, a big dog, or a postman. What you need is lawyers who know what they’re doing, lawyers who will give you clear answers, lawyers who will walk with you, carry you even, throughout the stress a lawsuit can bring, and lawyers whom you’ll actually meet.

CHH understands that serious injury needs serious compensation. Whether your injury happened in a hospital or on the highway, the path to real compensation runs through the medical evidence. That's the work we've done longer, and dug into deeper, than almost anyone in Illinois.

We Are CHH Law

The Chicago firm where serious injury cases are built on medicine, not guesswork.

We are an experienced, winning team of trial attorneys and board-certified physicians who build cases and help rebuild lives. For three decades we've taken on the injury cases that hinge on one question other firms struggle to answer: what does the medical record actually prove?

That discipline has driven millions in settlements and verdicts for our clients — and it's exactly what a catastrophically injured crash victim needs when an insurer disputes the severity of a brain or spinal injury. Our record is fueled by expert trial attorneys, negotiators, investigators, and physicians with over 100 years of combined experience winning complex injury cases across Chicago and Illinois. Put our team in your corner, and start getting life back to normal.

We Don’t Hire Medical Experts. We Are Medical Experts.

Every insurance company keeps doctors on retainer, ready to tell a jury your injury isn’t what you say it is. Most law firms respond the same way every time: they hire an outside expert witness and hope the jury believes them over the other side’s expert.

CHH doesn’t have to hope. Two of our own attorneys spent years inside medicine before they ever set foot in a courtroom — one a licensed physician, one a respiratory therapist. Both practice law full time now, on cases exactly like yours.

That means when a hospital’s defense team tries to bury the truth in medical language, we’ve already read past it. We know what the chart says, what it leaves out, and what it should have said. We catch what a general personal injury firm would miss, because we’ve stood where your doctors stood.

It’s the difference between a law firm that studies medicine for your case, and one that’s lived it.

WHY

CHH LAW?

The Firm Other Law Firms Call When They’re Out of Their Depth

For 40 years, Chicago attorneys have been sending us the cases they couldn’t win alone — the medical malpractice claims too complex to prove, the catastrophic injuries where the medical record decides everything. Not because we advertise the loudest. Because we know how to read a chart the way the other side’s doctors do, and argue it the way a trial lawyer must.

If another firm has already turned your case down, or you’re wondering whether anyone can actually prove what happened to you, that’s exactly the kind of case we were built for.

Medically Trained Attorneys

A licensed physician and a respiratory therapist practice law here. They don’t outsource the medicine behind your case — they understand it firsthand, from the inside.

Free Case Evaluations

We offer free, no-obligation consultations to help you understand whether you have a case, in plain English.

No Fee Unless We Win

You pay attorney fees only if we obtain compensation on your behalf. The financial risk is ours, not yours.
