Illinois Workers' Compensation and Personal Injury Lawyers
The law firm of Short & Smith, P.C., was formed in the early part of 2011 by experienced attorneys Keith Short and Noel L. Smith Jr. — attorneys who began practicing law in 1992 and 2001, respectively. The law firm was founded on the basis of using our experience to help injured people with workers' compensation, personal injury and Social Security cases. Our attorneys have an impressive record of success in these types of cases.
Strong Representation From Former Defense Lawyers
Prior to forming this law firm, our attorneys handled workers' compensation defense and personal injury defense. This background is critical to the work we currently do. We know how our opponents operate in these cases, because we have been on that side.
More important, we know exactly who are opponents are. We know them, and they know us. They know that we are honest, hardworking attorneys. They know that when we give them a dollar figure, it will be well researched and accurate. They may be more likely to agree to our terms rather than trying to fight us. Of course, if a fight is necessary, we are ready.
Part of Our Southern Illinois Community
We are Southern Illinois attorneys who were actually born and raised in Southern Illinois. We know details that attorneys from the northern part of the state may not understand, from the types of injuries that are suffered in refineries and other workplaces that are common in the area, to how the condition of the roads may play a role in car and truck accident cases. We know where all the hospitals and courts are. We know the type of people who serve on juries when we have to go to trial, and we know how to present cases to them.
Attorneys from our law firm have even served as aldermen in Southern Illinois cities and won important community awards, such as the Friend of Labor Award.
