As you probably already know, there are countless Chicago personal injury lawyers out there who would be happy to take your case. However, you deserve more than just a run-of-the-mill attorney. You deserve a legal professional who knows how to win and who will treat you with the utmost respect and attention throughout your case. Here’s why that attorney is James D. Montgomery Jr.:
Furthermore, when it comes to personal injury and wrongful death cases, Montgomery Law Firm LLC does not charge anything upfront for our services. You’ll only pay us if and when we win your case.

Cases involving catastrophic injuries are particularly challenging, in part because insurance companies fight them harder. Victims who suffer debilitating and life-long injuries need more compensation to cover the costs of ongoing care and the income they lose through being unable to work. Insurers would rather send that money to their shareholders. James D. Montgomery Jr. can take on these powerful interests for you. He’ll use his background in economics to project the compensation you will need to account for the long-term effects of your injuries.
The Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA) is a federal law that holds railroad companies liable for injuries their workers suffer because of negligence on the part of the companies. It provides the exclusive remedy for railroad workers injured while on the job. As you might imagine, these claims are more complex than ordinary personal injury cases, and they tend to involve powerful corporate interests in the form of railroad companies—companies that have deep pockets and dedicated legal teams. You need someone who both understands how these claims work and what it takes to level the playing field against a powerful company. You need James D. Montgomery Jr. of Montgomery Law Firm LLC.
Manufacturers have a legal responsibility to put only safe products onto the market. When they fail to do so, they put innocent consumers at risk—and they should be financially liable when those consumers suffer unnecessary injuries as a result.
James D. Montgomery Jr. knows how to investigate a dangerous product accident, work with experts to identify the defect, and hold companies accountable for their carelessness. Don’t make the mistake of going up against a major corporation with just any attorney. Instead, get help from someone who’s worked in corporate offices and knows how their legal teams think.
In theory, police exist to keep us safe. In reality, a culture of impunity encourages officers to make decisions that put innocent people at risk, particularly those in marginalized communities. When police engage in reckless pursuits and cause avoidable accidents, the department can be held accountable for the consequences.
Not every lawyer has the specific knowledge and experience to handle these cases—but James D. Montgomery Jr. does. For example, in Estate of Chequita Adams v. City of Chicago, he secured a $4.9 million settlement on behalf of the family of a young woman who was killed when an off-duty police officer slammed into her vehicle while he was fleeing from police.
While some lawyers may have concentrated on the actions of the individual reckless driver, Attorney Montgomery recognized that the officer who initiated the chase broke the rules by doing so. This insight helped him secure justice on behalf of Ms. Adams and her family.
When someone dies because of another person’s careless, deliberate, or otherwise wrongful actions, Illinois law allows the personal representative of their estate to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the at-fault party. This lawsuit is brought on behalf of the deceased’s surviving family. While no amount of money can undo the pain of losing a loved one, it can provide a sense of justice and much-needed financial security.
James D. Montgomery Jr. of Montgomery Law Firm LLC can help you demand justice on behalf of your family member, just as he has for many others who’ve found themselves in similar tragic circumstances. For example, Attorney Montgomery was part of the legal team that sued Clear Channel Communications over the deadly E2 Nightclub Stampede of February 2003. The incident was set off by a DJ who first encouraged security to pepper-spray two women involved in an altercation, then caused a panic by telling the audience of over 1,000 through the PA system that the spraying was a terrorist attack. The resulting rush for the exits left 21 people dead.
Mr. Montgomery argued that the DJ was acting as an agent of Clear Channel Communications at the time, making the media corporation liable for his actions. That insight allowed the victims’ families to reach into deeper pockets than they would have been able to if only the DJ or the venue were to blame.
