Chicago personal injury attorney Frank V. Cesarone believes that passion and a proactive approach are the keys to success in the legal profession. At every stage of litigation, Frank maintains an unwavering focus on his client’s best interests.
Since joining Meyers & Flowers, LLC in 2013, Frank has been actively involved in the firm’s product liability and personal injury practices. He takes pride in being a voice for victims of neglectful physicians, drug companies, and medical device manufacturers. Frank is not afraid of the courtroom and has tried both criminal and civil cases to verdict. His attention to detail, determination, and dedication to client advocacy has resulted in recognition as a National Trial Lawyers “Top 100” and “Top 40 Under 40”, Super Lawyers “Rising Star” and Chicago Magazine “Illinois Rising Star.”
Frank has been actively involved in numerous complex product liability litigations and trials to verdict. Most recently, Frank represented former Philadelphia Eagles captain Chris Maragos in the highly publicized trial against his former medical team. Maragos received a $43.5 million jury verdict for the premature and unnecessary end to his NFL career due to the improper care of his right knee injury by his medical team. Frank secured a jury verdict for a woman who was seriously burned when a defective can of Conagra’s PAM cooking spray exploded in a kitchen. The Cook County jury returned a $7.1 million verdict finding Conagra was negligent, the injury was caused by their defective can design, and the company’s actions warranted punitive damages. This was the first trial to take place in a series of cooking spray explosion lawsuits. Additionally, Frank recently secured $12,938,000 in awards from a manufacturer for their faulty medical devices.
Frank has also worked on several product liability matters that resulted in multi-billion-dollar settlements. Frank was involved in two multi-plaintiff trials involving defective hip replacements that led to significant compensation for each of the injured plaintiffs.
Ultimately, both trials led to significant compensation for each of the injured plaintiffs. His compassionate litigation has recovered outstanding results for his clients, including $3,250,000 for a 60-year-old Chicago executive who was injured by a defective medical device and $1,800,000 for a local attorney who sustained injuries from a defective medical device. Presently, Frank is a part of the trial team pursuing actions against Conagra following numerous cooking-spray explosions. In addition, Frank is lead counsel in the NuWave and Tristar pressure cooker cases taking place in Cook County, Illinois, and Broward County, Florida.
