Overview
Jeremy L. Geller is an attorney with Trapp & Geller, concentrating his practice on automobile negligence, premises liability, medical malpractice and serious personal injury matters. Prior to joining the firm, Mr. Geller graduated from the University of Wisconsin and the John Marshall Law School where he was president of the Decalogue Society and was a Representative with the Sports Law Society and the Student Council. Mr. Geller is married and lives in the downtown area with his wife, Stacy, a teacher.
Since joining the firm, Mr. Geller has obtained millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts on behalf of his injured clients. In December 2010, Mr. Geller proceeded to trial against the City of Chicago where a Chicago Police Officer collided head-on with our client resulting in serious back injuries. The City and Police Officer vigorously denied that the accident was their fault and never offered a penny to settle the case. At trial, Mr. Geller obtained an award of nearly one million dollars for our client.
Recently, Mr. Geller was successful in achieving a confidential settlement on behalf of the family of a 13-year old boy who was killed as a result of negligence by a local municipality and a local landscaping company. The boy was fatally injured when he was riding a wheelchair through an open field and caused to fall and suffer catastrophic injuries from a concealed hole in the ground.
In another case, Mr. Geller achieved a significant settlement on behalf of the family of an elderly woman who was dropped by nurses at a nursing home causing her to break her hip and requiring surgery. Mr. Geller was also recently successful in achieving more than $300,000.00 for a woman who suffered a head injury after falling down stairs in her condominium complex.
Mr. Geller is a member of the Illinois State Bar Association, Chicago Bar Association, Illinois Trial Lawyers Association, American Association for Justice, American Bar Association, and the Trial Lawyers for Public Justice and is an active member of the community.
