Joliet Workers' Compensation Lawyer
Attorney for Maximum Workers' Comp Benefits in Will County
Virtually all Illinois workers are entitled to Workers' Compensation benefits if they are injured on the job, regardless of fault or negligence. Benefits include reasonable and necessary medical expenses, temporary replacement income, occupational retraining assistance, and compensation for a permanent disability.
However, because your employer's expenses go up when you collect benefits, your employer may try to limit the amount of benefits you receive.
When you are dealing with the effects of a major injury, you are not in the strongest position to fight the system. An attorney who is well-versed in the laws and procedures of the Illinois Workers' Compensation system is in a better position to fight for your interests and ensure that you receive the compensation owed to you.
