Our Injury Law Firm Helps Victims in a Wide Range of Practice Areas
With offices in Cook, DuPage, and Lake Counties, our accident lawyers are recognized throughout Illinois for the successful settlements and verdicts we have achieved in a variety of practice areas.
Workers’ Compensation Attorneys
In Illinois, employees who are injured on the job are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits regardless of who is at fault for their accident. As straightforward as the Illinois Workers’ Compensation system appears to be, however, obtaining the benefits to cover your lost wages, medical bills, and vocational rehabilitation is not always that easy.
“I decided to switch attorneys. I am glad that I did. It would take weeks for me to get a phone call from my old attorney. Nothing was more frustrating for me with my old attorney than not being able to get a simple question answered or not getting a response from them when my check was late. Don & Adam, as well as the office staff, responded to my calls right away.”

“Before I hired an attorney, I was getting tons of phone calls from bill collectors for my medical bills. The insurance company was so slow in paying the bills.
