John R. Wrona

Partner John R. Wrona focuses his practice on representing severely injured persons and their families, bringing longed-for closure to those experiencing the most trying circumstances one can imagine facing.

John focuses his practice on medical malpractice, birth injuries, construction injuries, nursing home neglect, aviation and boating cases, auto and trucking accidents, product liability, and excessive force/civil rights cases.

To all these cases, John brings not only the force of his comprehensive experience but a sense of empathy where that quality is direly needed. He steadfastly discovers and gathers the evidence to prove his clients’ cases. For example: in Farissier vs. Northwest Oncology, John obtained a jury verdict of $5.42 million representing the family of a 55-year-old woman who died due to medical negligence during the treatment of her cancer. In Egan vs. Clune Construction, a young electrician sustained significant and permanent injuries as a result of a fall from the second floor at a Chicago commercial building; John obtained a $2,325,000 settlement in cash for him, in addition to the waiver of a $400,000 workers compensation lien. In Louis Prosecky v Peterson, John Wrona won a $2.75 million dollar settlement for an electrician who suffered serious burns on his arms in the workplace. Recently, John obtained a $5 million settlement in Roeder vs. KC Transportation, on behalf of the estate of a 17-year-old boy who was killed when his vehicle was rear- ended by a semi. He also settled a transplant negligence case against a Chicago area hospital for $1.5 million for the death of a 66-year-old woman.

Outside client advocacy, John is proud to share his extensive knowledge and experience in the academic setting. He has served as an Adjunct Professor of Law in Trial Advocacy at Northwestern University School of Law for more than ten years and enjoys many opportunities to teach as an invited lecturer at continuing legal education seminars. John has also been named a Super Lawyer for the last 6 years and a Leading Lawyer for the last 4 years, selected by his legal peers.
