Our Legal Team Remains Dedicated to Helping Injured Clients

Written by Malman Law, reviewed by Steve J. Malman.

Everyone in the Chicago area – indeed, throughout the state of Illinois – by this time knows all too well the impact the COVID-19 pandemic is having on day-to-day life. Even those people still going to work should by observing social distancing restrictions and taking other steps to try to prevent further spread of COVID-19, also known as the coronavirus. Many more people are out of work, their place of business or employment closed as “non-essential.” 

In early March, Gov. J.B. Pritzker issued a disaster declaration requiring people to stay at home except to go to work and obtain essential goods. He recently extended that order until the end of April, at the very least. Ever since that first order and continuing now, people’s lives have been disrupted in ways they likely could not even have imagined just a few short weeks ago. So what do you do if you need a Chicago personal injury attorney?

Are Lawyers Still Available if I Have an Injury Claim?

While many states declared law firms to be non-essential and shuttered their offices,  Illinois did not take that route, and law firms are allowed to remain open. Even so, many firms have been having their lawyers work from home to help protect them from the coronavirus, and that is the case with the attorneys of Malman Law. The firm remains fully operational, even though its attorneys are working from home. 

While most court functions are shut down for the foreseeable future, lawyers at Malman Law still are able to make court filings, negotiate with defendants’ representatives by telephone or through computer-based teleconferencing apps, and can still meet with clients and prospective clients “face-to-face” through smartphones or those same video conferencing apps. There is no drop-off in the services available.

Even while working from home, Malman Law attorneys have secure remote computer access to online databases located at the firm’s physical facilities. Because law firms have not been shut down, if absolutely necessary, Malman Law attorneys still can access physical files located at the office. In truth, though, most of what they need is literally at their fingertips through their computer. They can securely log in online to access the firm’s systems, giving them access to almost everything they would be able to access if they were actually at the office. They are ready to take on your case, be it for personal injury, car accidents, workers’ compensation claims, or medical malpractice.
