Illinois workers' compensation injury
attorneys

Work laws were created to provide for employees who have been disabled or injured on the job and to give them permanent or fixed monetary awards, making litigation unnecessary. Unfortunately however, private employers and companies sometimes undermine these injury laws and refuse to pay adequate amounts of money to employees who no longer can work due to certain injuries that occurred while working. In some instances, aggressive insurance companies have denied legitimate workers’ compensation claims. An insurance carrier may claim that you haven't been injured, or that the injury you suffered wasn’t serious enough to qualify for workers' compensation benefits. If this occurs, you may stand to lose critical benefits, such as job retraining, medical care coverage, and other financial help.
In all of our workers compensation injury cases, we advance all costs. No attorney fees apply unless we are able to obtain a recovery on your behalf.
Almost everyone has heard that they may be entitled to some workers compensation benefits should they become injured while on the job. But, few people know that when a worker is seriously hurt on the job, there is sometimes more than just one available source of insurance recovery. Our personal injury attorneys always look at potential third parties to see if a monetary recovery can be made, in addition to the employer. An additional source of compensation often involves a claim for products liability like those involving:
- Scaffolding failure
- Machine guard/ grinding accidents
- Forklift accidents
- Construction site accidents
- Conveyor belt accidents
- Printing press accidents
- Machinery related accidents
You have the right to a safe place of work. The personal injury attorneys at Mitchell S. Sexner & Associates LLC can help you determine which benefits you are entitled to. Workers’ compensation covers your work related injury including:
- Orthopedic injuries
- Neurological problems
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Fractured bones
- Post-traumatic stress syndrome
- Closed-head injuries
- Exposures to asbestos, mold, lead, or other chemicals
If you are injured on the job, make sure that you know what kind of benefits you are entitled to. Often, the insurance carrier will move quickly to contact you and begin to make medical payments and lost time payments. Injured workers often incorrectly assume that the insurance company is on their side and that they are receiving all of the benefits for which they are entitled. Unfortunately, many times, the insurance company withholds some of the most important benefits and the injured worker never learns what he or she failed to receive.
