Construction Litigation/Workplace Injuries

I was crossing a busy street near my house with my two dogs and an uninsured motorist struck me while I was in the crosswalk severely fracturing my leg. My own insurance company refused to settle with me offering less than $100,000.00. Jeff and Tyler took on my insurance company through a contested arbitration proceeding and ending up getting me an award of $552,500.00. Thut Law Group is a professional and aggressive group of attorneys who are not afraid of a fight.

I hired Thut Law Group after my previous attorney mishandled a patent trademark case against a manufacturer who ultimately put me out of business. I had to sue my prior attorneys who claimed they did nothing wrong. After three years of litigation the Thut Law Group secured a settlement for me in the amount of $600,000.00.

David G. was the Chief Information Officer for the Chicago Tribune. He was wrongfully terminated from that position and the Tribune company refused to pay his contractual buyout. Mr. G. was forced to file suit against the Tribune who defended the case with a large Chicago law firm. The Tribune filed a multi-count counterclaim against Mr. G. seeking damages for breach of fiduciary duty, fraud and breach of contract, among other things. After a two week trial in the Circuit Court of Cook County, all of the counter-claims of the Tribune were dismissed and David G. was awarded a judgment in the amount of $800,000.00.

The Red Ants Boring Company of Zion, Illinois was initially sued by its workers compensation carrier after an audit of premiums. The insurance company alleged that Red Ants owed it approximately $150,000.00. Red Ants was represented by C. Jeffrey Thut, who filed a counter-claim against the insurance company after trial proceedings in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, the trial court dismissed the complaint of the insurance company and awarded Red Ants $160,000.00 on its counter-claim.

I was involved in a severe car crash while coming home from work. The driver of the other car had minimal insurance and I hired C. Jeffrey Thut and the Thut Law Group to represent me in a cause of action against the other drive and my own insurance company. After two and a half years of litigation and a contested arbitration hearing, I was awarded $950,000.00 by the arbitration panel. Jeff Thut and his office shepherded me through this difficult time ultimately securing the maximum compensation for my injuries. I would highly recommend this firm.

I hired Thut Law Group to represent me when a former customer brought suit against my company in the Circuit Court of Cook County for delays in the building project I assisted them with. The plaintiffs were demanding upwards of $80,000.00 for a delay I had no part in causing. Within only a few months, Tyler was able to get my case dismissed with prejudice.
