Richard P. Bingham - Elgin, IL

Since he began his practice in 1992 with Bingham Law’s predecessor firm, Juergensmeyer & Associates, P.C., Attorney Bingham has worked almost exclusively for injury victims and their families. He specializes in both personal injury and workers compensation law, and has years of experience handling the legal relationship between both types of claims – experience which is especially important in construction accident cases, and other work injury cases where accidents are caused in part by someone other than a client’s employer.

Whether cases involve automobile accidents, electrical power lines, construction injuries, workers compensation claims, or any other type of personal injury, Mr. Bingham has earned a reputation over the years for maximizing his clients’ recoveries by finding all insurance coverage which might provide compensation, and pursuing all available legal avenues of recovery. Listed below are just a few of the results that he has obtained for his clients in past cases.

$1,600,000.00

A 26 year old male painter was kneeling on the roof of a work site when he contacted a 7,200 volt electrical line operated by Exelon , causing 2nd and 3rd degree burns, traumatically-induced pancreatitis, and diabetes. He continued working as a painter for the same employer after recovering from his injuries.

$1,372,500.00

A retired, 71 year old woman was involved in an automobile accident resulting in severe fractures to her upper right arm and left hip. The fractures resulted in surgeries to install an artificial humeral head, and an artificial hip joint. She also developed a severe foot drop condition, causing a subsequent fall and wrist fracture.

$1,337,989.00

A male roofer, 23 years old, came into electrical contact with a 34,000 volt Commonwealth Edison power line, causing 2nd and 3rd degree burns to 46% of his body. He was able to return to work after recovering from his injuries.

$870,000.00

A 47 year old father of five was killed in a head on collision. The vehicle that the man was driving when he died was loaned to friends of his by an automobile dealership whose insurance carrier paid the limits of its available coverage to settle the claim. The carrier initially denied coverage, claiming that the automobile was sold rather than loaned.

$797,800.00

An unemployed 43 year old woman developed back and leg pain following an automobile collision which caused moderate damage to her vehicle. A dorsal column stimulator, and eventually a morphine pump, were surgically installed in order to treat her pain.
