Workplace InjuriesThe Workers’ Compensation Act covers almost all employees in the State of Illinois. The Workers’ Compensation Act requires employers and their insurance companies to compensate employees for injuries that arise out of and in the course of employment. Proving fault on the part of your employer is not necessary. Filing a claim should not have any impact on your relationship with your employer. In fact, the law prohibits retaliation against an employee for the filing of a claim. The Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission is the impartial administrative agency that will resolve your Workers’ Compensation Claim if efforts to settle are fruitless.
If you are injured on the job, you should seek medical attention immediately or as soon as your physical abilities are affected. When seeking medical attention, make certain that you tell the medical provider that the injury is work-related so that it is properly documented. As soon as possible, contact our experienced workers' comp attorneys to discuss the specifics of your case and the best strategy moving forward.
At The Davis Law Group, P.C., our Chicago workers' comp attorneys will attempt to reach a favorable settlement for your claim to ensure you get the compensation for your injury that you deserve. If such a settlement cannot be reached, we will not hesitate to take your case to court and litigate on your behalf.

Workers' Comp - Free ConsultationsThe process begins with a free and confidential consultation, in which we will discuss the facts and circumstances surrounding your specific case. Once our workers' comp lawyers have the full picture of what transpired, we will be able to determine the best approach to enable you to receive the maximum benefits that you deserve. We will gather and review any and all pertinent documentation and evidence in order to build the strongest case possible.
The next step is filing a claim with the Workers' Compensation Commission on a form known as an Application for Adjustment of Claim. While we are required to send a copy of the form to your employer, this is usually the only contact we will have with them. It is likely that your employer has workers' compensation insurance. Therefore, all matters will be handled through your employer's insurance company. You will not need to worry about awkwardness at your workplace or losing your job because you filed a claim. Your company cannot retaliate against your for filing a claim.
