About Mario Palermo

The son of a New York City police officer, Mario Palermo got into injury law to help the underdog achieve justice. Mr. Palermo was thrust into the national legal spotlight with his early handling of a defective airbag case that caused the death of a 48-year-old mother. The case was resolved for $1,500,000 after Mr. Palermo successfully used the vehicle's "black box" to prove the airbag was defective. This case was featured prominently in the national news as one of the first successful uses of vehicle "black box" technology. Recently: •Mr. Palermo helped recover $2,300,000 for a group of DuPage County Homeowners who lived adjacent to a factory that recklessly handled a toxic chemical that leaked into the homeowners' ground water. •Mr. Palermo obtained $1,000,000 for a 64-year-old surveyor struck by a driver who initially told police that she simply "witnessed" the accident and that the culprit fled the scene. •Mr. Palermo obtained $1,000,000 for a 53-year-old truck driver who was struck in the face by a 4x4 thrown by an unobservant railroad worker. •Mr. Palermo resolved the case of a Central Illinois factory worker who was sexually harassed by a co-worker for $477,000. •Mr. Palermo obtained $990,000 for an 81-year-old man from Romeoville, IL that was "t-boned" in an intersection by a cement truck. •A Danville jury awarded Mr. Palermo's Champaign client $372,000 for a fall on ice at a gas station. •Mr. Palermo obtained $400,000 for a 28-year-old woman from Aurora, IL that was the victim of a hit and run driver. Mr. Palermo used tollway records to identify the driver. •Mr. Palermo obtained $800,000 for the family of a 63-year-old woman who died as a result of a negligently performed gall bladder removal surgery. He is on the Board of Directors of the Italian American Political Coalition and the Board of Governors of the West Suburban Bar Association. He is also a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and the DuPage and Kane County Bar Associations.
