We Work for the Workers
Our attorneys dedicate 100 percent of our practice to workers' rights. We handle many different types and aspects of workers' compensation cases, including:
Catastrophic injuries : We represent people who have suffered serious work injuries that permanently change or end their careers.
Back or neck injuries : We represent people who injure anything from the top of their neck to the small of their back. We take seriously the effect the injury has on our clients' ability to work and function in life.
Repetitive use injuries : If you are suffering from an injury that resulted from doing the same activity, or series of activities, over and again, your employer may be responsible. Let us help you pinpoint the defining moment when the condition became a disabling injury.
Aggravations of pre-existing injuries : Workers are often told that if they injure a body part at work that was hurt in the past, they are disqualified from receiving workers' compensation. This is simply not true. Our workers' compensation lawyers help employees recover the benefits they deserve.
Vocational rehabilitation: When the permanent effects of workplace injuries or diseases impose limitations the employer can't accommodate, Illinois law grants workers broad protections and rights to placement or training. We will explain these rights so you can make informed decisions regarding your future earning's ability.
Exposure to harmful substances: If you suffer from illness, disease or allergic reactions resulting from harmful chemicals or substances at work, you are entitled to medical treatment and compensation.
Psychological injuries: You may be entitled to compensation for psychological harm, such as post-traumatic stress, depression or cognitive impairment (memory loss, inability to multi-task/perform errands), resulting from a physical injury.
Wrongful death: If a family member has suffered a fatal injury on the job, we can help you prove your dependency on your loved one and recover the compensation you deserve.
Our firm also provides comprehensive advice regarding defense medical exams, effectively reporting your work injury and understanding your treatment options.
