Placing an elderly loved one in a nursing home or assisted living facility can be a heart-wrenching decision. Millions of families each year have to consider placing a parent or grandparent in a facility equipped to meet their medical and day-to-day living needs. We would like to think that the people with whom we entrust their care will provide the same standard of care we gave, but, sadly, that is often not the case.
In fact, instances of nursing home abuse and neglect are becoming an epidemic in the United States. An estimated 2.1 million seniors are the victims of some form of abuse. While physical abuse is the most prevalent type of elder abuse, senior citizens are also suffering from emotional abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation. If your elderly loved one has suffered abuse or neglect at the hands of their caretaker, you may have a valid legal claim. The Cochran Firm is ready to take on your case! Call us today at 1-800-The-Firm to schedule a free, no-obligation, and confidential consultation.

A toxic tort is a specific type of personal injury or property damage case that occurs as a result of exposure to toxic materials such as chemicals, pesticides, toxins, or pharmaceuticals. The most common toxic tort cases involve those in which the plaintiff claims to have been exposed to toxic chemicals as a direct result of their occupation or the location of their residence.
Occupational toxic tort cases occur more often than any other tort case, simply due to the fact that industrial workers are more likely to suffer from long-term exposure to toxic chemicals than consumers or residents. Some common chemicals that have resulted in toxic tort cases include arsenic, cadmium, beryllium, benzene, manganese, silica, pesticides, asbestos, and lead. Exposure to these chemicals can result in diseases such as asbestosis, mesothelioma, leukemia, and lung disease, among other cancers, and even death. Environmental or toxic tort law cases are very serious, difficult personal injury or property damage cases. Most toxic tort claims involve large corporations and can seem daunting and extremely difficult to prosecute. The experienced personal injury attorneys at The Cochran Firm, however, can help you every step of the way to ensure you receive any compensation you may be entitled to.
If you have been injured due to exposure to toxic materials, please contact the experienced environmental and toxic tort attorneys at #TheCochranFirm by calling 1-800-The-Firm today!

Melvin ‘Mel’ Brooks is a Managing Partner at The Cochran Firm Chicago, where he represents clients in wrongful death and serious personal injury matters. In addition to handling complex legal matters, he also serves as the Board Chair of Habilitative Systems Inc., a nationally-recognized human services agency that provides programs to underserved populations and those who live with health and human service needs. Mel was recently recognized in HSI’s Newsletter.
“[Brooks] has been involved with HSI for well over a decade. As one of the most prominent plaintiffs’ personal injury attorneys in Chicago and managing partner of the Johnny Cochran firm’s Chicago office, he represents victims in wrongful death and catastrophic injury cases. His leadership and reputation in Chicago mean he could be associated with any not-for-profit he chooses. He chose HSI. He first came to know HSI when he was invited to visit its campus by Donald Dew. ‘I got to see up close the headquarters, residential centers, and senior centers,’ Brooks said. ‘I watched a skillset program being run for persons with developmental disabilities and it just inspired me. I wanted to be involved at that moment.’”
“As Board Chair, he sees as his most important responsibility making sure the board has a direct line with the agency’s management team and that it is assured the organization is living up to its highest standards. He also pays close attention to the need to recruit fresh volunteer talent to the Board. ‘New board members always bring new ideas and new energy. As Board Chair, I’m always on the lookout for people who want to put their professional skills to work in making a difference for our community.’ Above all, Brooks relishes being a role model for the younger generations coming up.”

When you visit a healthcare provider, you do so with trust, trust that you will be treated with the care, respect, and confidentiality that you deserve. Unfortunately, patients do not always receive this normal standard of care. As a result, patients suffer death, injury, and other harm more often than you might expect. According to the American Board of Professional Liability Attorneys, medical malpractice is defined as harm or injury to a patient that occurs through an omission or negligent act by a hospital, doctor or another type of healthcare professional.
Malpractice can apply to several different situations. Cases must be considered on an individual basis and include the following elements to qualify as medical malpractice under the law: a violation of the standard of care, the negligence caused an injury, and/or the injury resulted in significant damages. Most medical malpractice laws exist to protect doctors, nurses and hospitals, leaving patients to protect themselves. Working with an experienced lawyer can help you determine from the start whether or not your situation meets the legal requirements of a medical malpractice case.
Picking a lawyer is always a big, potentially life-changing decision. When you need a lawyer for a particular field, such as medical malpractice, finding an experienced one with the right credentials can be even more challenging. Our medical malpractice section at #TheCochranFirm is composed of experienced legal professionals and board-certified medical malpractice lawyers with the expertise to screen, prosecute, and guide you through your medical malpractice case. If you believe you or a loved one has been the victim of medical malpractice, contact us today at 1-800-The-Firm for a free consultation!

Business interruption insurance is coverage for businesses that helps replace lost income due to physical damage in the aftermath of a disaster. If a business experiences loss of a building, in a flood or fire, for example, business interruption insurance can help cover operating expenses, payroll, loan payments, taxes, or even the cost of moving to a temporary location. After a natural disaster, most insurance companies will honor their contract and provide a fair payout to their client. In some cases, however, an insurance company may deny or underpay a business interruption claim.
If your business interruption claim was denied by your insurance company call #TheCochranFirm today at 1-800-THE-FIRM! To learn more about business interruption insurance claims, visit https://bit.ly/3LzQyS1!
