Jaclyn J. Kurth
Jaclyn J. Kurth joined Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard P.C. as an associate attorney in 2021, focusing on catastrophic personal injury, medical malpractice, and nursing home negligence cases. She is licensed to practice in Illinois and Wisconsin.
In her first trial with the firm, Ms. Kurth won a $1.8 million premises liability verdict for a Texas woman who was assaulted by an on-duty hotel security guard. As a law clerk at the firm for three years, she worked on high-profile cases, including a $3 million wrongful death verdict in rural Illinois and a record-setting $4.5 million settlement in Wisconsin for a school bus collision victim.
Ms. Kurth earned her Juris Doctor with magna cum laude honors from UIC John Marshall Law School in 2020. She served on the Moot Court Honors Council and was a Staff Editor for The John Marshall Law Review.

She received her bachelor’s degree in English from Carroll University in 2017, where she was awarded the Gordon Folsom English Award.
Ms. Kurth is active in several legal organizations, including the Lake County, Illinois State, Cook County, Chicago, McHenry County Bar Associations, and the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association.
