If you were hurt while doing your job, Illinois law may entitle you to medical treatment, wage replacement while you are unable to work, and compensation for permanent effects of the injury. These benefits generally apply regardless of who was at fault.
Injured workers often feel pressure to return before they are ready, or find that a claim is disputed or delayed. We handle the claim so you are not negotiating with an insurer on your own.
Matters we handle
- Workplace accidents and traumatic injuries
- Repetitive trauma and cumulative injuries
- Occupational illness and exposure claims
- Disputed, delayed, or denied benefits
- Permanent partial and permanent total disability
- Proceedings before the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission
Third-party claims
Some workplace injuries are caused by someone other than your employer, such as a contractor on a job site or a defective piece of equipment. In those cases a separate claim may be available alongside your workers’ compensation benefits. We evaluate both.
Report the injury promptly
Illinois requires that workplace injuries be reported to your employer within a limited period, and separate deadlines govern filing a claim with the Commission. Delay can jeopardize benefits.
