PERSONAL INJURY
Whether because of a car accident, a defective product or simple carelessness, personal injury cases start well before litigation and suit are filed. For this reason, personal injury victims need an experienced trial attorney. Litigation is full of pitfalls for those who do not regularly handle such cases. They begin early in a case while the injured person is still seeking medical advice and attention.
VEHICLE ACCIDENTS
The Law Office of Jeff Green represents victims of loss and personal injury caused by vehicle accidents in central Illinois. My clients include victims of car wrecks, motorcycle crashes, bus accidents, rear-end collisions, bus and SUV rollovers, drunk-driving accidents, failure to stop and yield, and pedestrian or bicycle accidents.
NURSING HOME ABUSE
For those who have a loved one in a nursing home, fears of abuse and neglect are ever-present. Unfortunately, our fears are often validated by news reports of mistreatment of nursing home residents. We place a great deal of trust in a nursing home’s staff. When that trust is breached, we have legal options available to hold a negligent facility responsible for the abuse of our loved ones.
MEDICAL DEVICE & PHARMACEUTICALS
Manufacturers of medical devices and pharmaceuticals are responsible for making and marketing safe products. Distributors, suppliers, retailers and others who make those products available must likewise protect public safety. If a product goes to market with a defect that results in a personal injury, the originating source or sources can be held accountable.
Hernia Mesh Recall
Hernia surgical mesh implants are used to treat several types of hernias. Unfortunately, many varieties of these widely-used devices have also been recalled and caused significant patient harm, including pain, infection, recurrence, adhesion, obstruction and perforation.

Invokana Complications
Invokana is an oral medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. This drug has been linked to an increased risk of leg and foot amputations.

CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENTS
Thousands of construction workers are injured or killed in construction-site accidents each year. Construction companies are required to provide safety programs and inspect each site with safety engineers. Unfortunately, accidents still occur because of faulty safety. In these events, owners, architects, insurance companies and equipment manufacturers can all be held responsible.
DOG BITES
While most pet owners are responsible and considerate, some keep dangerous dogs and do not monitor them well enough. This negligence can become a public safety risk, particularly for young children. Each dog bite case has its own circumstances that may influence the legal outcome. In most claims involving injury, the dog’s owner is held responsible. Dog Bite Cases
BAR FIGHT LIABILITY
Establishments that offer alcohol have a legal responsibility not to serve drinks to patrons who are visibly intoxicated. This law is commonly referred to as a dram shop law. If a bar or restaurant fails to live up to this responsibility, they could be held accountable if the drunk customer starts a bar fight and injures another person.
