Mr. Mazzuca has tried cases to verdict throughout the Chicago area. His notable results include a $3,510,000 jury verdict in Cook County in a wrongful death case involving a pedestrian struck by a commercial truck. A verdict like that can help a grieving family pay for what they have lost and hold a trucking company accountable.

Combining extensive trial experience with appellate success, he served as appellate counsel in a notable case in 2015, and he represents injured clients strategically at every stage of a case, from pre-litigation investigation through appeal.

Mr. Mazzuca represents people with serious injuries and deaths caused by motor vehicle collisions, construction accidents, and dangerous conditions on property, such as poorly maintained stairs, floors, and walkways. These cases often involve complicated evidence and strong opposition from insurance companies, which is why trial-ready representation matters.

Mr. Mazzuca earned his law degree from the Indiana University Maurer School of Law (formerly the Indiana University School of Law) in Bloomington, where he served as managing editor of the Federal Communications Law Journal. He also studied at the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University. In addition to Illinois, he is admitted to the U.S. District Courts for the Northern District of Illinois, the Central District of Illinois, and the Northern District of Indiana. He is a member of the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association and the Justinian Society of Lawyers.

Mr. Mazzuca was drawn to law because it let him put his love and talent for research, writing, and advocacy to work helping clients through what are often the most difficult times in their lives and obtaining the fair and just compensation that would otherwise be denied to them.

What should I do after a car accident in Chicago?

Call 911 and get checked by a doctor, even if you feel fine, since some injuries show up days later. Take photos, exchange information with the other driver, and get the names of any witnesses. Avoid guessing about fault, and talk with a car accident lawyer before giving a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company.

What should I do after a truck accident in Illinois?

Call 911, get medical care, and make sure a police report is filed. If you can, take photos and note the truck's company name and USDOT number. Trucking companies often start investigating right away, and evidence like driver logs and electronic data can be lost, so contact a truck accident lawyer as soon as you can.

What is a wrongful death claim in Illinois, and who can file one?

A wrongful death claim is a lawsuit brought when someone dies because of another person's or company's wrongful act, neglect, or default. In Illinois, the personal representative of the deceased person's estate files the case on behalf of the surviving spouse and next of kin. Recoverable damages can include funeral and medical expenses, lost income and support, and the family's grief, sorrow, and loss of companionship. The deadline is generally two years from the date of death.

I was hurt in a construction accident. Can I file a lawsuit?

Possibly. Workers' compensation is usually your only claim against your own employer, but you may also be able to sue other companies whose negligence played a part, such as a general contractor, subcontractor, or property owner. Report your injury to your employer within 45 days to protect your workers' compensation benefits. The deadline for a personal injury lawsuit is generally two years.

What is a dangerous property condition, and can I sue if I was hurt?

A dangerous property condition is a hazard the owner or occupier should have fixed or warned about, such as a wet floor, broken stairs, or poor lighting. In Illinois, property owners and occupiers must use reasonable care to keep their property safe for people who are lawfully there. If they fail and you are hurt, you may have a premises liability claim, generally with a two-year filing deadline.

Can I still recover compensation if I was partly at fault for my accident?

Often, yes. Illinois uses a modified comparative fault rule. If you are found 50% or less at fault, your compensation is reduced by your share of the blame. If you are found more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover. Insurance companies often argue that injured people share the blame, so having a lawyer matters.
