Aggressive With the Insurance Company and Defense Lawyers
Caring and Compassionate With Employees Hurt in the Workplace
At Strong Law Offices, we aggressively represent employees who have been injured in all types of workplace accidents. We never represent insurance companies or large corporations. We dedicate all of our resources to protecting the rights of injured people. We are relentless when fighting for the workers' compensation benefits you are entitled to or when working to maximize your work comp settlement.
The reason we work so passionately is that we know how difficult a workplace injury can be — even in the best of circumstances. When your employer treats you unfairly after you file a work comp claim, or when the work comp insurance company refuses to authorize the medical treatment you need, it can be tempting to throw in the towel.
Your Right to Workers' Compensation Benefits in Illinois
Workers' compensation benefits are available for almost any type of injury suffered in the workplace, including back injuries, knee injuries, and neck injuries. Repetitive stress injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, cubical tunnel injury, as well as RSD, nerve injuries and chronic pain often result from repetitive work activities or a work-place accident.
If you have been injured in the course of your employment — including injuries that worsen pre-existing conditions — you may be entitled to several types of workers' compensation benefits. Your rightful benefits include temporary total disability (wage loss benefits) if you are unable to work during your period of recovery. You may be entitled to lifetime medical benefits pertaining to the injury, even if you have sustained an aggravation of a pre-existing condition.
In our initial consultation, we can discuss what happens after your medical recovery ends, and the types of benefits you may be able to recover, depending on your work restrictions, permanent partial disability and other factors.
Fighting "Deny and Delay" Claim Tactics
Work comp laws require that your employer pay for work comp insurance or directly cover the costs of providing benefits to cover wages, medical benefits and vocational rehabilitation. Unfortunately, many companies subject injured workers to the strategy of "deny and delay."
At Strong Law Offices, we provide comprehensive representation in all workers' compensation claims for injuries suffered on the job. Experienced workers' compensation lawyers, we understand the intricacies of the Illinois workers' compensation laws. We regularly take workers' comp claims to arbitration to obtain the wage loss, medical benefits, permanent partial disability awards and other available benefits.
We evaluate all workers' compensation cases to determine whether there are any related third-party liability claims, and we handle those claims as well. We represent injured workers in personal injury cases for injuries and death caused by negligence. We can often obtain additional compensation for injured workers by filing lawsuits against negligent contractors, subcontractors or others who cause construction accidents, car accidents, or truck accidents.
