A vast majority of litigation, particularly in the area of personal injury, involves aspects of common law negligence. From premises liability to commercial vehicle litigation, each concentrated area of practice requires a solid working knowledge of negligence law.

Injury cases arising out of construction frequently deal with general issues of negligence. However, even a simple lawsuit can become complex litigation involving cross-actions, third party actions for contribution and affirmative defenses. Frequently, there are background disputes among insurance companies providing coverage to multiple parties pursuant to insurance agreements in contracts. DC&A attorneys have considerable experience representing owners, architects, engineers, consultants and contractors. This experience is invaluable when navigating the many issues that arise in these cases and assists us in crafting an effective defense strategy for each client.

The attorneys at DC&A have a wide range of experience in the appellate courts in Illinois. Their knowledge and familiarity with the appellate system affords the firm unique insight into the appellate process. This insight, in turn, translates into a more effective advocacy and consequently, greater success.
