Nicholas G. DiMaggio

Nicholas DiMaggio, who goes by Nick, is an associate trial attorney at Morici, Longo & Associates in Chicago, Illinois, handling car accident, premises liability, and construction and workplace injury cases. Admitted to the Illinois bar in 2025, Nick has already persuaded the First District Appellate Court to reverse a summary judgment ruling that had gone against his client. If you were hurt on the road or on the job, he brings that same energy to your case.

Early in his career, Mr. DiMaggio successfully argued on behalf of the plaintiff-appellant. A summary judgment ruling can end a case before a jury ever hears it, so winning a reversal on appeal can give an injured person another chance to be heard. For Mr. DiMaggio, it was an early example of how far he is willing to go for a client.

Today, Nicholas DiMaggio focuses on motor vehicle collisions, premises liability, and construction and workplace injury cases. That continues the firm's long-standing focus on people hurt on the job or on the road. Premises liability covers injuries caused by unsafe conditions on someone else's property, such as a wet floor or a broken staircase. Whether the injury came from a crash on a Chicago road or a fall at a business, Mr. DiMaggio helps clients across Illinois understand their options and works to hold the responsible parties accountable.

Mr. DiMaggio earned his J.D. from Chicago-Kent College of Law. Before law school, he earned a business degree in economics from the Tippie College of Business at the University of Iowa. Mr. DiMaggio is a member of the Justinian Society of Lawyers, the Illinois State Bar Association, and the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association.

Mr. DiMaggio brings the same energy to every case, whether it is a motor vehicle collision or a serious workplace accident.

What is summary judgment, and can it be appealed?

Summary judgment is a ruling in which a judge decides a case, or part of it, without a trial because the judge finds no real dispute over the key facts. If the ruling goes against you, you may be able to appeal to a higher court, which can reverse it. Appeal deadlines are strict, often just 30 days, so speak with a lawyer right away.

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.

Can I still get compensation if I was partly at fault for a crash?

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.

What compensation can I recover after a car accident?

Depending on your case, you may recover compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and vehicle or property damage. In Illinois, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit for injuries and five years for property damage.

What should I do if I was hurt in a fall on someone else's property?

Get medical care first, then report the fall to the owner or manager. If you can, take photos of the hazard, write down witness names, and keep the shoes and clothing you were wearing. In Illinois, property owners and occupiers must use reasonable care to keep their property safe for people who are lawfully there. The deadline to file a lawsuit is generally two years.

I was hurt at a construction site. 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.
