Mathew T. Siporin
Mathew Siporin brings a strong record of success to Pullano & Karnezis. He has been responsible for settlements and awards in a variety of complex wrongful death and personal injury cases.
Mat helped secure $1 million for a Melrose Park woman who was hit by a police vehicle that was engaged in a high-speed chase. Mat deposed more than 20 police officers and defendents’ experts for the case, which resulted in a final settlement that was 150 percent higher than the offer originally proposed the defendants.
Mat was instrumental in getting a significant settlement in a case in which a grandmother was killed and her grandson significantly injured when their car was t-boned by a semi-tractor trailer in Danville, Illinois.
Mathew has worked on several high-profile cases, including the Lincoln Park porch collapse tragedy that killed 13 young professionals and injured more than 30 others. As a trial lawyer, his representation has included matters involving transportation liability, medical negligence, product liability, premises liability, construction negligence and general negligence.
Other victories include:
- $750,000 for a man hit by a bus while was crossing the street, which resulted in several orthopedic injuries and a complex traumatic brain injury.
- $375,00 for an elderly man who suffered a head injury in an auto accident with a Cook County sheriff.
- $250,000 for a man injured in a multi-car accident on the Edens Expressway during a snow storm.
