McGowan and Hull

Our attorneys have been practicing personal injury law for over 25 years. The firm of McGowan & Hull was formed only recently in 1997, but it is made up of skilled attorneys who have handled hundreds of personal injury, medical malpractice, wrongful death, and workers' compensation cases in Chicago, Illinois and the surrounding suburbs.

Partner Geoff McGowan ran an insurance adjusting business prior to studying law, and provides valuable insight to our practice. Since we have worked inside insurance companies, we understand them and how they work. We have knowledge of how they do business that allows us to better represent our injured clients facing teams of insurance company attorneys.

Our clients are and always have been our top priority. We return phone call promptly, and keep our clients informed of the status of their case at all times. Our attorneys and staff are caring and understanding, but still know how to be aggressive and tenacious in pursuing your medical malpractice or auto accident injury claim.

General Personal Injury

If you have been injured in an accident, your life can change dramatically.  You may not be able to work, or to perform the job duties you used to.  You may not be able to complete household chores, such as mowing the lawn or working in the garden.  You may not even be able to participate in activities you once enjoyed.

At McGowan & Hull, we represent individuals in the Chicago, Illinois area who have been seriously injured in an accident due to the negligence, carelessness, or recklessness of another person.  These injuries can result from many sources, including car crashes, airplane crashes, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, medical malpractice, defective products, slip and falls, trip and falls, dangerous conditions on someone's property, or on-the-job injuries such as industrial and construction accidents.  If your injury is the result of someone else's negligence, you may be entitled under Illinois law to recover compensation for lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering.  Call us today to discuss your options.

If a loved one has been killed in an accident in Chicago or the surrounding areas due to the negligence of another person, such as a fatal car crash, airplane crash or truck accident, their family may be entitled to recover compensation as well in a wrongful death action.

Our personal injury lawyers serve Chicago, Illinois and its surrounding suburbs, including Geneva, St. Charles, Batavia, Aurora, Elgin, Naperville, Schaumburg and Oak Park as well as Cook County, Kane County, DuPage County, and Lake County.

If you have any questions, or to speak with a personal injury lawyer regarding a possible wrongful death or personal injury claim, please call our offices in Geneva, Illinois at (630) 262-0366 or (800) 871-4370 .  If you prefer, you may send us an e-mail, or fill out the form on the Contact Us page of this website and a representative from our office will be in touch with you shortly.  We look forward to hearing from you!
