Trial lawyers at Spesia & Taylor, led by partners John Spesia and Jeff Taylor, have helped people who have been seriously injured recover money damages to compensate them for: medical bills, lost income, disability, loss of a normal life, pain and suffering, disfigurement, and loss of consortium.

Our personal injury attorneys have the experience and the proven track record to get you the results you deserve. John Spesia has been practicing law for over 25 years. Mr. Spesia obtained a $4.1 million record-setting jury verdict for family members whose wife and mother was killed by the reckless actions of another driver. He recovered $1.1 million for a motorcycle passenger who was injured in a collision and $750,000 for a client who suffered from post-concussion syndrome as a result of an auto collision. John has also helped clients recover $ millions for injuries they sustained as a result of falls caused by building code violations. John has also settled and tried cases for clients who were victims of medical, dental and nursing home negligence. Jeff Taylor has been recognized as a Super Lawyer by Chicago Magazine and fought insurance companies on behalf of a victim of a head-on car collision who sustained serious arm and leg injuries – ultimately collecting the policy limits of more than $1 million. Michael Stiff, a partner at the firm, obtained a $750,000 settlement for a victim who suffered a traumatic brain injury from an auto collision.

What Our Clients Are Saying…

“Excellent Injury Attorney and Wonderful Experience!”

“I hired John after I fell on ice while walking out of a local business. I fractured my ankle and had multiple surgeries. I also missed time from work and will need another surgery in the future. After my fall, the insurance company denied my claim and refused to pay anything for my case. John hired an architect to look at the exit ramp where I fell and he determined that the building and ramp violated several building codes. John aggressively moved my case toward trial and we refused multiple offers from the insurance company to settle. Ultimately, we were able to obtain more than half-a-million dollars – almost twice the amount that the insurance company offered just two weeks before trial. I am very happy that I chose John as my lawyer and would highly recommend him and Spesia & Taylor to anyone who has been injured.”

“After my wife died in an automobile crash, lawyers from Spesia and Taylor were recommended to us to handle our case. We Felt Comfortable & Supported Throughout The Process.”

Brian


“Jeff Taylor & Tyler Moore obtained over a million dollars for my auto injury through aggressive legal representation. I highly recommend Spesia & Taylor.”

“Jeff Taylor and Tyler Moore of Spesia & Taylor were the right attorneys for my case. After I was injured in a head-on car crash, I had multiple surgeries and I did not go back to work for a year. I was told by the insurance company not to hire an attorney and offered only $50,000 to settle my case even though I was permanently injured. My family and I eventually decided to look for an attorney anyway because we wanted help through what was one of the worst periods in our lives. Looking back after my case was over, I am absolutely certain that hiring Jeff Taylor and Tyler Moore was the best option for us. My attorneys were able to obtain over a million dollars for my family through aggressive legal representation. I highly recommend Jeff Taylor and Tyler Moore at Spesia & Taylor.”
