DuPage County Warehouse and Factory Worker Injury Attorney
Workers' Compensation Attorneys for Warehouse and Factory Injuries in Illinois
Manufacturing is one of the most important industries for the American economy. Factory and warehouse workers play a pivotal role in producing essential goods and bringing them to market. Those who work in this industry are also highly susceptible to injuries and occupational diseases.
If you or a loved one has suffered a warehouse or factory worker injury, you may be eligible for a workers' compensation claim. Proving that your injury is work-related is not always easy, however. To ensure you fully understand your rights, it is best to speak with an experienced workers' compensation attorney.

Common Types of Warehouse and Factory Worker Injuries in Illinois
Because factory and warehouse workers often work with heavy and dangerous objects and equipment, there is a greater chance of suffering a serious injury. Some of the most common injuries affecting warehouse employees include:
- Arm and shoulder injuries;
- Back injuries;
- Knee injuries;
- Lacerations;
- Broken bones; and
- Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
Occupational illnesses and repetitive stress injuries are also common in the manufacturing industry. These conditions are not the result of one-time accidents, but may develop from ongoing exposure to toxic substances or performing a repetitive task over a period of time. Because these conditions develop over time, it can be more difficult to prove eligibility for a workers' compensation claim. Some workplace incidents are the fault of a third party other than your employer. In third party injury cases, you may be able to pursue damages under personal injury laws. If you have worked the required number of quarters, you may also be eligible for a Social Security Disability claim.
