Kroll, has represented injured victims or deceased family members throughout the state and country in the areas of transportation law, medical malpractice, premise liability, product liability, and other disciplines of personal injury law. Kroll has obtained well over $550 million dollars in verdicts and settlements, including a record breaking $148,000,000 verdict on behalf of a dancer paralyzed by a shelter collapse at O’Hare International Airport. This is the highest compensatory award to an individual in Illinois history. Kroll regularly handles complex damage cases and has received multi-million-dollar verdicts and settlements. Kroll obtained a $15.2 million verdict on behalf of a man who was seriously injured when he was struck and run over by a forklift at McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago. He obtained a $5.25 million dollar verdict in the first U.S. bike share death. During his career, he has obtained verdicts or negotiated settlements on over 80 occasions where the results have exceeded $1 million, including six cases which have exceeded $10 million. Kroll has also published more than 140 articles for lawyers and lectured to lawyers and bar associations groups throughout the country on more than 170 occasions. He is well known in not only the Chicago media but is a highly sought-after legal commentator, making frequent national media appearances to provide in-depth legal insight and analysis of trial topics and current events. He has been interviewed in countless television and radio segments, podcasts, and publications. In the past, he has taught at Northwestern, DePaul and John Marshall Law Schools. “I have been fortunate to have taken to verdict over 100 cases in my career. I still love doing it. It is the greatest rush knowing that you represent an individual and you are competing against a large corporation or hospital when they have denied any wrongdoing,” he says.
