For 25 years, Kurt Lloyd has practiced plaintiff's personal injury law representing severely injured clients. Mr. Lloyd has obtained jury verdict and settlements totaling over 250 million dollars. He is a native of Chicago and the founder of the Lloyd Law Group. In February, 2008, the Chicago Magazine published its annual lawyer ratings ranking Mr. Lloyd a "Super Lawyer" in Illinois for the fourth year in a row. Over a ten year period, Mr. Lloyd has won 24 medical malpractice cases, each for one million dollars or more, for a total in excess of $100 million. In 2007, the Chicago Lawyer recognized Mr. Lloyd as one of only a handful of Illinois attorneys who has annually obtained one or more million dollar settlements on behalf of his clients for the last fifteen years. In 2004, in recognition of his trial experience Mr. Lloyd was awarded the Citation of Excellence Medal by the American Trial Lawyers Association, the largest organization of trial lawyers in the United States. Lastly, Mr. Lloyd is a member of the prestigious American Board of Trial Advocates, which is by invitation, only based on trial experience.

In 2007, Mr. Lloyd secured a $14 million settlement for a brain damaged boy in Vlachos v. Northwestern Memorial Hospital. In approving the settlement for the child, Judge Kathy Flanagan wrote that "the plaintiff's lead attorney Kurt D. Lloyd represented the minor Plaintiff in the prosecution and settlement of a complex and novel case, and obtained an extraordinary result in comparison to the same or similar cases…." Recently, one of Mr. Lloyd's clients said, "Kurt brought certain calm to the situation that helped us feel that as crazy as things were, everything in the end would be fine".

In the courtroom, Mr. Lloyd is a highly experienced lawyer having prosecuted more than 50 jury trials on behalf of plaintiffs. "I help injured victims recover. There is no secret: from start to finish, I am a "hands on" lawyer for every one of my cases," says Mr. Lloyd.

Mr. Lloyd's cases often involve a person who has been catastrophically injured or a family who has lost a loved one. Notably:
