Biographical Information

Chuck Cannon has practiced in State and Federal Courts in numerous counties across the State of Illinois for over ten years. He handles cases of every type and size, from complex and catastrophic cases involving severe brain injuries, birth defects or death to auto collisions or slip-and-fall cases that might cause a temporary injury.

"Every injury is a severe, life-altering injury to the person or family that is affected. That is why every case must be litigated as aggressively as possible. "

Chuck has handled extremely complex medical malpractice matters including cases involving surgical malpractice; failure to properly diagnose cancer, infections and other illnesses; failure of emergency room personnel to recognize and treat heart attacks in a timely manner; obstetrical malpractice during pre-natal care, labor and delivery; and many other types of medical negligence.

Chuck has also handled cases involving automobile accidents, commercial truck accidents, construction accidents, work injuries, in utero toxic exposure that caused severe birth defects, medical device cases, and products liability cases involving several types of industrial machinery and consumer products.

Chuck has worked on numerous cases that have achieved seven-figure verdicts and settlements. Frequently cases can be settled before a lawsuit even is filed, which means less costs for the clients.

"The key to obtaining the most complete compensation for my clients is to always keep pushing toward victory. If the other side knows that we will never rest, they are more likely to settle. "
