Often times a person is injured through no fault of another, but rather, is injured while working within the scope and course of his or her employment. Illinois instituted workers’ compensation laws to ensure an expedient method to compensate injured workers while they are recovering from work related injuries. When injured on the job a worker is entitled to certain benefits such as reasonable and necessary medical treatment, disability pay, and compensation for his or her injuries.

Unfortunately, business and their insurance companies sometimes offer less money than a person injured on the job is entitled to under the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act. This means an injured person has outstanding medical bills and lost wages. With over 11 years of workers’ compensation experience, I can ensure that you receive the compensation you are entitled to under the Act and can also obtain a settlement for you to compensate you for the permanency of your work related injuries.

Work related injuries can range from lacerations, torn ligaments, herniated discs, carpel tunnel syndrome as well as other conditions and ailments. Employers have a responsibility and duty to ensure the safety and well-being of its employees whether they are on-site, traveling in a work vehicle, or off-site on a work-related task.

No matter the extent of your injury, I can ensure you receive the compensation you are entitled to. If you have suffered a work related injury, contact my office at (847) 486-9295 so that I can begin to protect your rights under the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act.
