Among the hundreds of clients Mr. Lipkin has successfully represented as an Illinois personal injury attorney:

A two day delay in learning the results of the MRI, and making a referral to a neurosurgeon resulted in permanent neurologic injury to the ultra sensitive spinal nerves, with bowel/bladder and walking problems.
  • 52 yr old woman received $1.13 million after a cubicle wall improperly secured to the floor fell on her, while loading her work materials into an open pull-out drawer.
