Workers’ Compensation in Illinois
The recovery process for a workers’ compensation claim is a complex one. In fact, it is often more complex than the procedures followed during personal injury claims. There are certain restrictions and stipulations on workers’ compensation claims, and the payout options are not the same as those available in personal injury cases. For example, an injured worker cannot pursue damages for pain and suffering from their employer. Injured workers are also at risk for reduced compensation, claim denials, and lengthy delays that may add more stress to their situations. These adverse circumstances are even more likely if a misstep is made in the process, such as failing to provide proper or timely documentation of a work injury.
Attorney John Fotopoulos can help protect you from delays, denials, and reduced claims following a work-related injury. Our firm will help you navigate the process of filing a workers’ comp claim in an efficient and effective manner. We will manage the legal aspects of your claim, giving you and your family the time and energy you need to focus on healing and moving forward with your life. We will ensure that paperwork and proper documentation is accurately and promptly filed with the appropriate personnel. We stand by you throughout the entire process, protecting your best interests and your family’s future.
Personal Injury or Wrongful Death Claims
Generally, workers relinquish their right to bring a personal injury or wrongful death claim against their employer. However, there are many cases that involve third-party negligence, which may open up more options for workers and their families. Our attorney will meticulously review the details of your case to determine if third-party negligence may have been a factor in your injury. We will aggressively represent you and protect your interests as you pursue compensation from all available sources. We strive to hold negligent parties responsible for their actions, and we will help you determine your best options for receiving compensation that will fully address the injuries you suffered at work.
