When catastrophic injury strikes, the impact is life-altering — physically, emotionally, and financially. Victims and their families face a long road of recovery, often requiring lifelong care and resources. At Goldberg & Goldberg, LLC, we’ve been fighting for the injured since 1967, delivering justice and maximum recovery to clients across Chicago, Cook County, and throughout Illinois. We don’t just handle cases — we go to war for our clients.
Whether you’ve suffered a traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation, or were seriously hurt in a rideshare accident involving Uber or Lyft, we are the battle-tested trial lawyers you want in your corner.
What Is a Catastrophic Injury and Why Is It Different?
Catastrophic injuries are permanent, disabling, and life-changing. They often include:
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord damage and paralysis
• Severe burns or amputations
• Organ damage
• Multiple fractures and disfigurement
• Long-term disability due to a rideshare crash or other negligence
Unlike minor injuries, catastrophic injuries require extensive litigation, expert testimony, and long-term planning — areas where Goldberg & Goldberg excels.
Decades of Experience Handling Complex Injury Cases Since 1967
We’ve spent more than 55 years fighting for clients in cases involving:
• Car accidents and commercial vehicle crashes
• Medical malpractice and birth injuries
• Construction and workplace incidents
• Dangerous premises and product liability
• Uber and Lyft rideshare accidents causing catastrophic harm
Our legal roots run deep in Illinois. We know the court system. We know how insurance companies operate. And we know how to push back — hard.
Why Trial Experience Is a Game-Changer for Catastrophic Injury Victims
Many law firms focus on settlements. That’s not us.
Goldberg & Goldberg, LLC is known for litigating and trying cases to verdict when insurance companies fail to offer fair compensation. We don’t bluff. We prepare every case for trial from day one — and that reputation often leads to better settlements because insurers know we won’t settle for less than what our clients truly deserve.
Special Focus: Rideshare Catastrophic Injury Cases
As Uber and Lyft use increases across Chicago, serious injuries from rideshare accidents are also rising. Victims — whether passengers, pedestrians, or other drivers — often struggle to understand:
• Who is liable?
• Which insurance applies — the driver’s or the rideshare company’s?
• How can I get compensated for a life-altering injury caused by a rideshare vehicle?
Goldberg & Goldberg has handled numerous rideshare accident cases involving catastrophic injuries, and we know how to navigate the complex insurance layers, company policies, and corporate liability protections that rideshare companies try to hide behind.
When an Uber or Lyft ride turns tragic, we’re ready to step in and fight for full and fair compensation.
