hurt or sick

from work

 

  Illinois law offers a right to compensation for most employees who suffer injury, disability, or disease arising out of and in the course of their employment.

Even aggravation of a preexisting degenerative condition, or gradual development of a condition like carpal tunnel syndrome, may qualify an employee for benefits.

If you suffer from exposure to asbestos, solvents, toxins nuclear radiation, loud noise, viruses or other hazards, you have rights too.

     It is our job to establish that your disease or injury is work-related.  This is what Illinois

     law requires before you can recover benefits under the Illinois Workers Compensation

     Act or the Workers Occupational Diseases Act.  Employees have recovered under

     these Acts for afflictions like hepatitis, brain stroke, a demyelinating lesion in the brain,

     and allergic skin conditions.  You can call to make an appointment for a free initial

     consultation if you believe you suffer from a condition that is, at least partly, work-related.
