Who is the Best Workers’ Compensation Lawyer in Chicago?

We are Illinois lawyers, who since 2001, have been offering legal guidance and attorney referrals to the best workers compensation attorneys in Illinois. Call our office at 312-346-5320 to speak with an attorney for FREE and get pointed in the right direction. Or you can fill out our contact form to tell us about your case and we will contact you. All inquiries are free and confidential.

We hear from people every day who are looking for the “best workers’ compensation lawyer in Chicago.” That seems like a perfectly reasonable question. If you have been injured on the job in Chicago, you want the best attorney to take your case and represent you. There is, however, no ranking system or method for determining who is the single best workers’ comp lawyer. And there is a good reason for that. The best attorney for you may not the best attorney for someone else. We do not believe in a one-attorney-fits-all approach.

Injured Chicago workers contact us to help them determine who the best attorney is for their case. We take into account your unique situation. How were you hurt on the job? What is the extent of your injuries?  Do you speak a foreign language? Is your case likely to go to trial? We then consider the qualifications of the workers’ compensation attorneys we know well and trust, and refer you to the one we believe would be the best fit for you.

We refer people with work injuries to attorneys that specialize in workers’ compensation and handle these claims day in and day out. We don’t recommend lawyers that handle car accidents and divorce and real estate and workers’ compensation. You need an expert, not a jack of all trades. In some cases, we go further and recommend an attorney that specializes in your particular injury. For example, if you’ve injured your back and need a fusion, we will refer you to an attorney who understands the intricacies of back injuries and has had success helping clients with the same injury.

Along those same lines, if you have a severe injury that will necessitate a career change, or maybe you will never work again, we will connect you to a law firm that has helped many Chicago workers in the same situation. There are plenty of attorneys in the city that you could hire, but if they don’t know how to properly value your case and haven’t demonstrated success with similar cases in the past, they could leave hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table.

Another criterion we use in making our referrals is the reputation of the attorney and their law firm. Does the attorney understand the importance of client service? Do they respond to their clients clearly and promptly? Does the attorney stay up to date on changes in the law? Do they do what is in the client’s best interest (e.g., not settling a case too early so they can move on to the next client)? Are they respected by other attorneys as well as the arbitrators that decide Illinois workers’ comp cases? An attorney who knows the arbitrators, appears before them on a regular basis, and has a good relationship with them often gets better results for their clients.

Our free service is dedicated to understanding your situation, treating you as we would a member of our own family, and connecting you to the attorney who would be best for your unique situation. If you have any questions about Illinois workers’ compensation law, or if you would like a referral to an experienced and reputable Chicago workers’ compensation attorney, please contact us. All communication with us is 100% confidential.
