DuPage County Workplace Injury Compensation Attorneys

Lawyers for Workers' Comp Claims Serving Lombard, Bloomingdale and Northern Illinois

There are many ways in which a person can be injured at work, even at a workplace with OHSA requirements and good ergonomics. Many activities can lead to injuries, including lifting too much weight, sitting too long at a desk, or repetitive movements such as typing. These events can lead to either temporary or permanent injuries.

In the event of an injury, Illinois workers' compensation laws may entitle you to compensation for your workplace injury. These can include payment of doctor and hospital bills, vocational rehabilitation, payment for lost wages, and a disability award in court or by settlement. Securing the money owed to you can be difficult without the help of a workers' compensation lawyer.

Call us as early as possible to learn about the benefits you may be entitled to. We have several offices located in the Chicago metro area, including Lombard, Bloomingdale, and Naperville.

Filing a Specific Accident Injury Claim with Illinois Workers' Compensation

When an injury first occurs, many employees may think it was not significant, and they may assume it will get better eventually. However, if the injury worsens over time, an employer may attempt to refuse the Illinois workers' compensation benefits by claiming there was no notice given of the injury, that no one saw it happen, or that it did not happen while the employee was working.

Following a workplace accident or the discovery of a work-related injury, it is important that you seek proper medical treatment. Potential claims can be prohibited by law if medical treatment is not received within 90 days from the date of the accident. Special guidelines apply to repetitive injury and trauma cases. By seeking prompt medical care, you can establish the causes of an injury and avoid disputes about whether you were injured while at work or because of the work you performed.
