Practice Areas

At Harrington, Thompson, Acker & Harrington, Ltd. (HTAH), we are dedicated to helping injured individuals and their families recover the losses they have suffered.  For answers to questions about our personal injury practice, please visit our frequently asked questions page. 

Recoverable Damages

In most personal injury cases, you can recover for both economic and non-economic damages incurred because of your injury.  Economic damages encompass past and future medical expenses, past and future lost wages, and any incidental expenses you incurred.  Non-economic damages include the emotional impact of the injury, such as pain and suffering. 

Railroad Injuries

At HTAH, much of our practice is focused on railroad injuries and Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) matters.  For detailed information on our extensive expertise in this unique area of law, please visit our satellite website focusing exclusively on FELA and railroad injuries.

Wrongful Death

The often-complex laws governing wrongful death frequently differ from state to state.  We have a wealth of experience in wrongful death matters, especially in connection with railroad accidents, and are well-versed in the laws that govern wrongful death cases throughout the Midwest.

Automobile Accidents

Automobile accidents occur every few seconds, and are the leading cause of personal injury cases in the United States.  For detailed information on these types of cases, including those involving uninsured motorists, please see our motor vehicle accidents page.

Work-Related Injuries

In addition to the employer, cases involving work-related and construction site injuries frequently involve multiple defendants.  Our diverse experience in personal injury matters allows us to handle workers' compensation claims as well as any third-party negligence or products liability claim that may arise in a work-related injury case. 

Slip and Fall/Premises Liability

Premises liability includes a variety of personal injury incidents that occur on public property, private property, and workplace sites.  The most common premises liability injuries are slip and fall accidents and injuries that occur because property was poorly maintained or where lack of security resulted in criminal activity.

Products Liability

Products can be defective in a number of ways, including how they were designed, how they were manufactured, and the warnings that were placed on the products or on the packaging.  Products liability cases also commonly arise within other personal injury cases, such as worker's compensation claims.

Nursing Home Litigation

Abusive or neglectful practices at nursing homes have become an increasing cause of injuries to the elderly.  Nursing home abuse includes physical abuse, sexual, emotional or psychological abuse, and neglect.  Unfortunately, many of these cases go unreported. 

Trucking Accidents

Trucking accidents often cause serious injuries and wrongful deaths, and because commercial vehicles travel between states these cases often prove both unique and complex.  For information on the specific federal laws governing these matters, please see our trucking accidents page.
