Chicago Workers Compensation Attorney

The first 48 hours following any accident are the most important. What you do during those first days can make or break your workers compensation case. Call Strom & Associates immediately if you have been injured at work: (312) 609-0400. Please review our Worker's Compensation Frequently Asked Questions

Strom & Associates represent injured individuals who are seeking to enforce their rights. Worker's compensation is a "no fault" law which provides insurance to cover medical care and compensation for employees who have been injured in the course of employment.  In exchange a release of the employee's right to sue his or her employer for negligence.

Most of the time we don’t think about getting hurt and what that could mean for our families.  The truth is anyone, in any job at any time could be at risk for injury.  These injuries could trigger substantial personal and financial hardships.  It’s hard to know what to do immediately after an accident, and making the wrong moves could jeopardize your ability to receive workers compensation benefits.  Which is why it’s so important to have a Chicago Workers Compensation Attorney you can trust.

A good Chicago Workers Comp Lawyer knows that while laws differ between jurisdictions, provisions are made for weekly payments in place of wagers called "temporary total disability" equaling 2/3 of the employee's wage (functioning in this case as a form of disability insurance), full reimbursement or payment of medical and like expenses (functioning in this case as a form of health insurance), and benefits payable to the dependents of workers killed during employment (functioning in this case as a form of life insurance).

General damages for pain & suffering, and punitive damages for employer negligence, are generally not available in conventional worker's compensation plans. However, injured workers are compensated for their disability resulting from the injury.  Give us a call and we can help you make sense of it all!  Make sure to go with the best Chicago Workers Comp Lawyer.
