Southern Illinois Accident Attorney
When you have suffered a personal injury because of someone else's misconduct, you want a strong and compassionate lawyer to protect your interests. You may be unable to work and meet your financial obligations. You may have extensive medical expenses. You want an attorney who understands what you are going through, who will work hard to address and resolve all your legal issues.
At The Law Office of Derek L. Filcoff, I maintain a strong commitment to personal service and attention in every case I handle. I know how important it can be to get answers to your legal questions, and I work hard to be available and accessible when you need to talk. I answer my own phones and return all calls and e-mails as promptly as possible.

My Practice
I focus my practice exclusively on the rights of personal injury victims, handling all matters related to the pursuit of full and fair compensation for all your losses. I protect the rights of people who have claims for injuries involving:
- Motor vehicle accidents — I represent people who have been hurt in car, truck or motorcycle accidents, whether as drivers, passengers or pedestrians.
- Medical malpractice — I take cases involving all types of wrongdoing by medical personnel, including surgical errors, birth injuries, medication mistakes and emergency room errors.
- Job-related accidents — I will help you seek damages for the negligence of a third party, as well as workers' compensation benefits for injuries caused by the carelessness of your employer or a fellow employee.
I handle all types of serious and catastrophic injuries, from brain and spinal cord trauma to burn injuries. I also protect the rights of surviving family members in accidental or wrongful death lawsuits.
