DUI/DWI
Drunk driving accidents are regularly the subject of newscasts and newspaper articles. These collisions involve cases of auto accidents, truck accidents as well as bus accidents, and those injured often include other drivers, pedestrians, motorcyclists and bicyclists. The horrendous or fatal injuries that the victims and their families are left to deal with are life changing. In Illinois an individual who gets behind the wheel and drives after drinking or using drugs is guilty of DUI, a criminal offense. Conviction of the guilty driver does not help the injured person. If you or a loved one has been seriously or fatally injured by a drunk driver, you should consult a Chicago personal injury attorney who can file a civil suit to help you recover your damages.
Wrongful Death
Included in these damages are surgery for needed skin grafts and compensation for disfigurement. If death results, the family may sue for wrongful death.
Traffic Violations
Almost all accidents are the result of negligence. Not being fully focused on one’s driving is the foremost cause of traffic accidents. Additional causes or factors include ignoring traffic lights and signs, speeding, aggressive driving, ignoring the rules of the road, DUI (impaired by drugs or alcohol), mechanical failure, defective and dangerous car products and defective car components and bad road conditions. The resulting property damage and personal injury country wide is staggering. On a personal level the injuries are traumatic.
Theft
Assault

Workers Compensation
Steven J. Morton & Associates recently settled a worker’s compensation claim for $239,000.00. Our client had suffered a left elbow ligament tear w/ surgery resulting from an on-the-job injury. After treatment, including surgery and rehabilitation, he was unable to fully return to his occupation. Our client was persistent in trying to obtain a different job and eventually found employment, but the difference between the job he obtained and the job he could no longer perform allowed our office to demand that the employer compensate him for the difference in the wages earned. We were able to secure a settlement that allowed for his resulting medical bills to be paid, as well as compensation his wage differential.
Wrongful Termination
Harassment at work can take many forms, including sexual harassment, wrongful termination and other matters that demand the support of a skilled attorney familiar with filing lawsuits against the offending employer. Those who have been the victim of harassment know how terrible the situation can be, resulting in emotional distress, constant worry, and even fear of danger. Harassment would be most often inflicted by an authority, such as an employer or manager who uses their position to make life unpleasant, dangerous or threatening for an innocent worker.
Sexual Harassment
One of the most common forms of harassment is sexual in nature, when off color remarks are made about the physical appearance or other matter that violates the law. Some have suffered severe cases of sexual harassment when they are threatened with job loss if they don’t comply with certain sexual demands. The cases vary widely, but one thing is certain: you have rights and if you have been the victim of harassment, a lawsuit or claim should be filed at once to seek compensation for any act of harassment while an employee. Our legal team at Steven J. Morton & Associates Ltd. has the extensive experience and proven results you need if you have been a victim of this illegal activity.

Premises Liability
Residential or commercial property owners may be liable to individuals injured on their premises. Visitors expect property owners to maintain safe conditions inside and outside of their structures so accidents do not occur. Common injuries from premises liability accidents are soft tissue damage, fractures, dislocations, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injuries, burns, internal organ damage, or coma. Some premises liability accidents are severe enough to cause fatal injuries. Individuals injured in premises liability accidents may require hospitalization and rehabilitation before returning to a prior lifestyle.
Property Damage
Our client was driving in Niles, Illinois when his vehicle was t-boned by a driver who ran a red light. The collision, at no fault of our client, resulted in severe property damage to both vehicles. Our client suffered soft-tissue back injuries, multiple broken ribs, and injuries to his internal organ. The Defendant contended that the internal organ injuries were unrelated to the crash. Steven J. Morton & Associates deposed our clients treating physicians and we were able to prove the relation between the crash and all injuries. The Defendant then offered the insurance policy limits of $100,000.00 to settle the case.

Personal Injury
Steven J. Morton & Associates is able to focus on the needs of each and every client individually, while at the same time providing the legal services one would expect to find at a much larger, “corporate” law firm. By being able to maintain their individual relationships with clients as well as handle their complex personal injury lawsuits, Steven J. Morton & Associates have earned themselves a reputation for being personable and compassionate, while aggressively fighting for and protecting their client’s rights.
Medical Malpractice
Our client, a diabetic, had presented to the hospital with foot sores and was released without proper care. Only days later, the sores had engulfed his foot, causing it to become gangrenous and necessitating a below-the-knee amputation. Steven J. Morton & Associates filed a medical malpractice lawsuit following the amputation of our client’s leg due to the clear negligence of a local hospital. After the filing of the lawsuit, Steven J. Morton & Associates was able to facilitate a settlement of $1,450,000.00, while avoiding the time and cost associated with trial.
Auto Accidents
Dog Bites
Dog Bites: Dogs are everywhere in Chicago, and if you’re a dog lover, it’s tempting to go up to every dog you see and pet them. However, dogs don’t always have predictable behavior, so it is important to ask the owner before petting the dog. If you were attacked by a dog in any way, you could be entitled to compensation.
Slip and Fall Injury
At Steven J. Morton & Associates Ltd., we provide vigorous advocacy to clients suffering from slip and fall injuries. We are a small firm with over 60 years combined legal experience. We have settled thousands of cases with millions of dollars in compensation for our clients.

Bankruptcy
Robert C. Morton practiced law in Chicago for over fifty years. He grew up in Hyde Park and attended the University of Chicago Lab School, University, and Law School, earning his Juris Doctor Degree in 1953. Bob began his practice immediately following his graduation, with a focus in personal injury, general family practice, and bankruptcy law. In the 1970’s, Bob opened the first law clinic in the Midwest, and pioneered the practice of legally advertising to the public, following the California ruling of Legal Clinic of Bates & O’Steen v. State Bar of California. To this day, his former clients and their family members remember him fondly, not only for the work he did for them, but for the open door he provided to people from all walks of life. He so loved the people that came to him for advice and support that people would often sit with him and talk about life and subjects unrelated to their cases almost every day. In addition to practicing law, Bob founded and supported for years the non-profit publication of the Longmeadow Journal of Short Stories, which contained children’s fiction, selected from responses to contest submissions to schools and libraries. A lover of Hemingway’s work, he obtained the rights and produced a short film based on Ernest Hemingway’s “A Clean Well Lighted Place.” He also collected stories by Chicago fiction authors and published two editions of the acclaimed book “Chicago Works,” the first with a forward by Scott Turow, and the second with a forward by Mayor Richard M. Daley. For the first Chicago Works, Bob was awarded Chicago Tribune Publisher of the Year.
