Personal Injury and Teenagers

Offering Parents and Teens the Legal Counsel They Need

Joseph Klest, Attorney at Law, represents clients throughout Chicago and the suburbs of Illinois in personal injury cases involving teenagers. The firm offers families the legal counsel they need in a variety of areas, including:

  • Teenagers and car accidents: The firm represents clients who were injured in a car accident or truck accident caused by another person.
  • Teenagers and texting while driving: In Chicago, it is illegal to use cell phones while driving. If your teenager was involved in an accident caused by an inattentive driver who was texting, help is available.
  • Teenagers and DUI: The firm defends clients who are facing charges for drunk driving or underage drinking.
  • Teenagers and motorcycles: Attorney Klest works with parents whose teenagers were involved in a motorcycle accident.
  • Teenage driving safety center: Before your teen gets behind the wheel, it is a good idea to discuss some of the dangers teen drivers face.
  • Teenagers and paralysis: Paralysis is terrible, but for teenagers who have most of their lives ahead of them, it is horrible.
  • Teenagers and wrongful death: Parents should never need to bury their children. Sadly, it still happens. Attorney Klest offers clients the legal counsel they need to work through the tragedy.
  • Teenagers and bicycle accidents: Many teens use their bicycle as a primary mode of transportation. Unfortunately, this also puts them at risk to be victims of car/bicycle collisions.
  • Teenagers and pedestrian accidents: Because many teenagers hang out outside -- often after sunset -- they are one of the highest demographics for pedestrian accidents.
  • Teenagers and hit-and-run accidents: Whether your teen was the victim or cause of a hit-and-run accident, attorney Klest can offer the legal protection they need.
  • Teenagers and injured passengers: When teens get in car accidents, they face additional laws that adults do not face, including laws regarding injured passengers.
  • Product liability and teenagers: Attorney Klest works with experts to build strong cases against the makers and distributors of dangerous products.
  • Premises liability and teenagers: If your teenager was injured at the home of another person or at a party, an experienced lawyer can help protect their rights.
  • Medical negligence and teenagers: Infections, missed diagnoses, over-medicating and preventable complications during pregnancy can all cause lifelong damage to a teen.
  • Drug side effects and teenagers: Attorney Klest helps clients receive the compensation they need for injuries caused by the side-effects of drugs, including clinical depression caused by an SSRI or a heart attack due to Yaz.
