Erin A. Adamski

Partner

Erin Adamski is a Partner at Newland and Newland, LLP., where she began her employ in 2015 as an associate attorney and rose to Partner status. Erin concentrates her practice in tort litigation, focusing on personal injury and representing Plaintiffs who have been harmed in large trucking accidents, motor vehicle collisions, slip and falls, food poisoning mass-outbreaks or individual cases, food allergy events, pedestrian and/or bicycle versus vehicle crashes, 1983 Claims and other uniquely negligent injuries. She is further very experienced in Probate Court, including handling cases invoking the Wrongful Death Act, Survival Act, and the progression and cross-over of those delicate matters in the Probate world. Erin can open a minor's and/or Decedent's Estate along with the handling of the Personal Injury claim, or separately of such, whatever you seek. She also has extensive experience both representing and defending individuals and companies involved in Defamation lawsuits involving libel or slander or both or those otherwise concerning the First Amendment.

While at Newland and Newland, LLP., Erin routinely obtains the entire policy, or "policy plus" recoveries for her clients. In fact, in her very first jury trial, she obtained such a "policy-plus" judgment against the Defendant, and then proceeded to then obtained even further recovery for her client by litigating directing against the insurance company for breach of the bad duty of good faith and fair dealings pursuant to Section 155 of the Illinois Insurance Code. Pursuing additional recovery commonly referred to as "Bad faith litigation" directly from insurance companies, is another area of law Erin is experienced and comfortable in.

Most recently/notably Erin has collected over $465k for three individuals injured when a driver was permitted to continue operating his vehicle despite his employer knowing he was suffering from heat-related exhaustion, $380k for an elderly woman who was hit while leaving a Doctor's appointment $225 for a motorcycle badly injured by a trucking collision despite his own speeding, $1.25m for an injured party who survived and recovered wonderfully from a head-on collision, and $1.5m for a woman unfortunately injured while at work! These resolutions are a result of dedication, true passion for her clients and what is right, and the commitment to teamwork that Newland and Newland fosters! The point though, is that no one is a number, and each person's case is just as unique as they are. Erin and the whole team at Newland and Newland will advocate for you and what is best for your specific case!

Outside of work, Erin and her husband and young son live in the Chicagoland suburbs and in her spare time, she enjoys nothing more than supporting Chicago sports teams, local restaurants, and being with family and friends.
