When the Stakes Are Highest, Send Your Clients to Curcio & Casciato
For more than 70 years, our firm has represented individuals and families in some of Illinois' most significant injury and wrongful death cases. Throughout that time, attorneys across Illinois have trusted us with their clients' most serious matters because they know we will treat those cases with the same care, preparation, and commitment that they would themselves. Today, Curcio & Casciato focuses on a select number of catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases. By maintaining a limited caseload, we are able to devote substantial resources, personal attention, and trial preparation to every matter we accept. If you have a client who has suffered a life-changing injury, we welcome the opportunity to discuss the case with you.
Our Approach
Trial Lawyers First
Many firms resolve cases through settlement. Our firm was built in the courtroom. For decades, our attorneys have tried and won complex cases involving catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, trucking collisions, medical negligence, and premises liability. Our work has resulted in substantial verdicts and settlements, and many of the cases we have successfully defended on appeal continue to serve as precedent throughout Illinois. We prepare every case as though it will ultimately be decided by a jury because we believe that thorough preparation creates better outcomes for our clients and stronger leverage throughout the litigation process.

Cases We Commonly Accept

Professionalism & Respect
Every referred client is treated with the professionalism and respect that earned your confidence in the first place.
No Client Poaching
We do not view referred clients as opportunities to expand our practice. Our responsibility is to maximize the value of the case you have entrusted to us.
Our goal is to provide exceptional representation throughout the litigation.
How We Operate
Selective by Design
We are intentionally selective about the cases we accept. Complex catastrophic injury cases require substantial investment in experts, discovery, technology, and trial preparation. Rather than operating as a volume practice, we focus our resources on a limited number of significant cases where we can make the greatest impact. This approach allows us to thoroughly develop liability and damages, prepare every case for trial, and pursue the best possible result for our clients.
What This Means for Your Referral
Substantial investment in experts, discovery, and technology
Full liability and damages development — not a quick settlement push
Every case prepared as if it will go to trial
Resources focused where they make the greatest impact
Personal attention — your client will never feel like a file number
