Overview
Michael J. Warner has practiced personal injury law for more than 30 years. He is admired among his peers for his excellent legal ability and extreme ethical standards. He is known for being an aggressive litigator and has relentlessly dedicated himself to representing injured persons and the estates of people wrongfully killed due to medical malpractice, construction and trucking accidents, motor vehicles collisions. He continues to obtain seven figure settlements and large verdicts against hospitals, physicians and others responsible for causing injury or wrongful death. Not only has Michael J. Warner tried and resolved complex cases, he is a regular litigator for the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association, of which he has been a member since 1974, on personal injury matters.
Birth trauma, obstetric and pediatric malpractice cases are of special interest to his law firm. He is a member of the Birth Trauma Litigation Committee of the American Association for Justice (formerly known as American Trial Lawyers Association). This group regularly discusses strategies in handling birth trauma litigation and recent advances in medicine and science.
Michael J. Warner is an advocate for trial by jury and is a tireless lobbyist against corporate interests and the insurance industry who is trying to destroy the rights of citizens to obtain fair compensation for their injuries.
