Chicago Attorney - Meyers & Flowers

A $3 billion defective hip implant settlement is the kind of number that anchors everything else on this site, and it is the figure Meyers & Flowers chooses to lead with. Whether you trust a headline like that depends partly on context, and the firm gives some: a $2.4 billion diabetes drug award, a $200 million settlement tied to the Lac-Megantic train disaster in Canada that involved forty victims, and a $43.5 million medical malpractice jury verdict on behalf of former NFL safety Chris Maragos. Those are specific cases with specific outcomes, which tells a reader far more than the rounded aggregate of "over $6 billion recovered" that gets top billing. The verifiable items do the actual work. The slogans, less so.

Core practice areas in personal injury

The practice is built around plaintiff-side personal injury and trial work. Car and truck accidents, medical malpractice, workers' compensation, and wrongful death make up the bread-and-butter side of Chicago Attorney - Meyers & Flowers. Beyond that, Chicago Attorney - Meyers & Flowers runs a deep mass-tort and product-liability operation, and this is where the firm shows the most range. The defective medical device roster alone is long: hip replacement systems from Exactech, Profemur, Stryker, and Wright; ARROW catheters; Zimmer shoulder implants; MEGA electrodes; and the Aziyo FiberCel bone graft. On the pharmaceutical side, Chicago Attorney - Meyers & Flowers takes Depo-Provera, opioid, and Oxbryta claims. The product cases stretch from CooperSurgical IVF liquid and Paraquat herbicide to lithium battery fires, recalled tabletop fire pits, and talcum powder.

Mass-tort litigation with medical devices

That breadth tells you something real about how Chicago Attorney - Meyers & Flowers operates. Mass torts and device litigation are capital-intensive and slow, the sort of work a firm only takes on if it can carry cases for years and coordinate across jurisdictions. The fact that Chicago Attorney - Meyers & Flowers handles matters both locally and nationally fits that profile, and an infrastructure that smaller injury practices rarely maintain is implied.

There is also a class-action practice, with Illinois GIPA genetic-privacy claims and litigation against Vail Resorts named directly, plus opioid and pressure-cooker explosion work under the mass-tort heading, and tobacco litigation in Illinois. A smaller business-litigation arm at Chicago Attorney - Meyers & Flowers covers estate planning, probate, and trust and estate disputes, which sits a little oddly next to the injury focus but rounds out what is on offer.

Evaluating attorney credentials

On credentials, the firm points to six attorneys recognized in the 2026 edition of Best Lawyers in America, with Jonathan Mincieli listed for Personal Injury Litigation on the plaintiffs side. Ted A. Meyers, Peter J. Flowers, and Craig D. Brown are the other named partners. Best Lawyers is a peer-nomination listing, not an independent audit of results, so it reads as a reasonable signal of standing among other lawyers rather than proof of any specific outcome.

The "99% success rate" and "100+ years of combined experience" lines are the parts that deserve the most skepticism, since neither is the kind of statement an outside party can check. Combined-experience math is easy to inflate, and a near-perfect win rate usually says more about which cases a firm chooses to file than about courtroom dominance. To its credit, Chicago Attorney - Meyers & Flowers backs the broad claims with named, documented verdicts that remain verifiable.

Reputation away from the firm's own pages is harder to pin down. There are two Yelp listings, one for the Chicago office and one for Saint Charles, though the review counts did not come through clearly enough to quote. Chicago Attorney - Meyers & Flowers has a Better Business Bureau profile for its Chicago location but is not BBB accredited, which is worth stating plainly: accreditation is a paid program and its absence is no black mark, yet it also means there is no BBB rating layer to lean on.

A testimonials page lives on the firm's own site, and self-published testimonials are the weakest form of evidence in any review, so they do little to move the needle either way. The strongest outside marker for Chicago Attorney - Meyers & Flowers remains the Best Lawyers recognition across six of its attorneys.

Contacting the firm for consultation

Getting in touch is straightforward. An injured person trying to reach a lawyer should not have to dig, and Chicago Attorney - Meyers & Flowers does not make them. The phone number sits prominently on the homepage, a contact page is easy to find from the main navigation, and a free no-obligation consultation is offered as the standard intake route. The firm keeps two physical offices, the Chicago headquarters on West Wacker Drive and a second location in Saint Charles, and it lists "Se Habla Espanol," a practical detail for a sizable share of the Chicago-area population. Service coverage named on the site spans Chicago, Cicero, Arlington Heights, Palatine, and St. Charles, alongside the national caseload.

If there is a reservation worth flagging, it is the same one that applies to most high-volume plaintiff firms with this kind of marketing. The headline numbers from Chicago Attorney - Meyers & Flowers are doing a lot of persuasive work, and a prospective client cannot easily tell how much of the "$6 billion recovered" traces to a handful of giant settlements versus the everyday car-accident file they might actually be bringing in. The individual verdicts are impressive and documented, the sort of result that leaves a public record in court filings and news coverage. The aggregates and percentages are not, and that gap is worth keeping in mind. Anyone weighing this business directory entry should lean on the named, documented results from Chicago Attorney - Meyers & Flowers and let the rounder claims fade into the background.

For the work that defines it, Chicago Attorney - Meyers & Flowers reads as a serious operation. Mass-tort and medical-device litigation against manufacturers is not a field where lightweight outfits survive long, and the specific device and drug names, the partner credentials, and the concrete verdicts all point to genuine depth. The firm is most convincing when it talks about particular cases and least convincing when it reaches for slogans. My verdict lands on the positive side. The range is wide, from routine car accidents to multi-jurisdiction mass torts, so the fit depends on what a prospective client is actually bringing in, but the published record gives Chicago Attorney - Meyers & Flowers a credible profile that goes beyond the billboard figures.
