The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is moving to terminate its agreement with Southview Manor, citing the facility’s failure to attain substantial compliance with requirements for patient safety and quality of care. Due to this severe regulatory action, the facility will lose its ability to receive Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, putting its operations, and the future of its residents, in immediate jeopardy.
Settlements for car accident cases involving traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) tend to be higher due to the extensive medical care needed, income loss, emotional toll the injuries have on victims, and long-lasting effects that victims may face. The higher compensation amounts for car accidents and traumatic brain injuries reflect the considerable health and financial consequences of these injuries.
Comparative negligence determines how fault is shared among the parties in an accident. Illinois follows a comparative negligence standard known as modified comparative negligence, which determines whether you can recover compensation after a car accident and how much you can recover, based on your assigned percentage of fault. Understanding how comparative negligence works and its implications is key to protecting your rights and maximizing compensation.

Neglect in nursing homes is a serious problem that affects many elderly individuals in the United States.

Chicago’s weather affects car accident liability, especially during icy and rainy conditions. Assigning liability in bad weather accidents hinges on a driver’s adaptability to the weather and road conditions. Illinois drivers are legally required to adjust their overall driving behavior according to the weather. Failure to do so could lead to liability for the crashes that occur. Learning more about how weather conditions affect liability is crucial if you’re involved in an accident in adverse weather.
When another driver lies about a car accident, your rights, your money, and your future are on the line. If you don’t act fast, their lies can become the “official” version of the crash. Those lies can impact how fault is assigned. That means you could end up blamed for an accident you didn’t cause—and left with medical bills, lost wages, and a wrecked car.
A personal injury lawyer protects your legal rights, preserves evidence, negotiates with insurers, and fights for full compensation after an accident. If you’ve been injured in Chicago, hiring an attorney early can significantly improve the outcome of your case.
When you’ve been injured in an accident, hiring the right injury attorney makes all the difference. Personal injury law isn’t one-size-fits-all—and neither are lawyers. Some firms treat you like a file number. Others, like Lloyd Miller Law, treat your case like it’s personal—because it is.

It can seriously undermine your ability to recover compensation for your injuries. At Lloyd Miller Law in Chicago, we’ve seen firsthand how medical records—and the timing and consistency of your hospital and doctor visits—can make or break a personal injury claim. Here's why medical documentation remains one of the most powerful tools in building a successful case.
Parking lot pedestrian crashes, even at low speeds, can lead to serious injuries and high dollar claims. Although vehicles move more slowly in parking lots than on regular roads, the tight quarters where pedestrians and cars interact, along with driver distractions and flaws in parking lot design, can result in severe outcomes.
Rear-end collisions are not always as simple as they seem. There's a common misconception that a driver who rear-ends another vehicle is always at fault. In Illinois, this isn't necessarily true. While drivers must maintain a safe following distance and can be liable for accidents caused by failing to do so, not every rear-end collision is solely their fault. Sometimes, the driver in front may share blame.
