About Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers

Chicago, IL, USA
Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers is a personal injury law firm. It's based in Chicago, Illinois, and the firm handles cases that involve personal injury, sexual abuse, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, injuries in the workplace, vehicle accidents, and wrongful death.

Jonathan Rosenfeld is the head of the firm (founder and managing partner), and he has 25+ years of experience in personal injury law. The firm's team has more than 100 years of combined experience, which is pretty impressive.

One of their main practice areas is sexual abuse. They represent survivors in cases that involve schools, churches, medical providers, therapists, nursing homes, youth programs, hotels, rideshare companies, workplaces, and organizations in general.

Their work also includes a case that involved sex trafficking. The firm lists a $9.38 million (USD) settlement, which involved a 13-year-old girl who was placed in a foster home. According to the firm's account of the case, she was raped and sexually trafficked by the foster parent's adult son. She was taken to hotels and forced to perform sexual acts with adults. The lawsuit wasn't just brought against the individual perpetrators, but also against the hotel system that allegedly didn't manage to identify signs of trafficking.

If you look into some of their cases, you'll see that hotels show up elsewhere in the firm's work around sexual abuse. On their site, there's a report of a $21 million settlement that involves a woman who was sexually assaulted by a hotel's employee (front desk clerk, to be exact). According to Rosenfeld Injury Attorneys, there were already some complaints about that particular employee's sexual misconduct, and it involved the hotel not screening the employee properly – a huge risk.

The firm's published results also include some large recoveries that have nothing to do with abuse. 

For example, there's a report of a $18.5 million recovery for a truck accident, and a $11.2 million recovery for a birth injury. The case page also includes claims around serious vehicle crashes, workplace injuries, amputations, and medical negligence.

Aside from Jonathan Rosenfeld, the attorney team at Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers includes Jason H. Sherwood, Scott Shapiro, Martin D. Gould, Gerald J. Bekkerman, and Haig A. Hamidian as counsel.

Apart from information on cases, the firm's website also lists some professional organizations and recognitions that are connected to the firm and its attorneys. Some of them are Super Lawyers, the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, the National Trial Lawyers, Lawyers of Distinction, the American Institute of Personal Injury Attorneys, and the American Institute of Trial Lawyers.

One great thing about them that (potential) clients are sure to appreciate is the fact that they make the first steps of a case really simple. Consultations are free, and they're available 24 hours a day. As far as personal injury and wrongful death cases go, those are handled on contingency. 

That means that you don't have to pay any attorney fees unless the firm's lawyers recover money for you. In that case, their fee is taken out from the settlement or verdict.

You don't even need to visit their office, either. Of course, you can if you want, and if their Chicago office is practical for you to visit. If not, though, the meeting can take place in your home or even in your hospital room. They can also send an investigator with documents or arrange paperwork to be completed electronically.

Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers publishes a Client Bill of Rights. It says clients have the right to get updates on their case, speak to their attorney, get honest feedback, ask for copies of case materials, and make decisions about how their case is handled. It's important to mention that they don't represent corporations or insurance companies. 

Their focus is on individuals and families.
