Chicago Worker’s Compensation Attorney

CHICAGO WORKER’S COMPENSATION ATTORNEY

If you are injured or become ill at your workplace or at a work-related activity, you may be eligible for workers compensation — regardless of whether the injury or illness occurred in connection with your job. You are entitled to workers compensation benefits even in the absence of your employer’s fault or negligence.

Gonzalez Law Group, P.C.  has assistes workers in receiving fair compensation for injuries and illnesses sustained in the workplace. We help workers obtain coverage for their workers compensation claims, including:

  • Compensation for permanent disability
  • Dependents’ recovery for worker’s death
  • Lost wages or salary
  • Rehabilitation expenses
  • Retraining costs
  • Waiving workers compensation

Accepting workers compensation limits your rights to other remedies against a negligent employer. A personal injury claim can include compensation for general damages and pain and suffering, whereas a workers compensation claim cannot.  Attorney with Gonzalez Law Group, P.C.  are skilled at analyzing whether you should waive a workers compensation claim and seek recovery for negligence in civil court, or if you should also pursue a negligent third party.

Appealing worker’s compensation decisions

If your workers compensation claim is denied, you have a limited time to appeal the decision. The law firm of Gonzalez Law Group, P.C. can assist you in successfully maneuvering through the complex bureaucratic process of appealing to the Illinois Worker’s Compensation  Commission.
