Illinois Worker's comp Lawyers
If you have been hurt on the job, you may be entitled to
worker’s compensation benefits. If you are unable to work, even
partially or temporarily, you may receive payments to make up
for some of your lost wages.
At the law firm of Franks & Rechenberg, P.C., we help clients
get the benefits they deserve,
as the list of cases on our verdicts and settlements page shows.
If you have had an accident on the job and received a work
injury, don’t delay -- call Franks &
Rechenberg, P.C. today for a free audit of your case.
An injury falls under worker’s compensation if the injury occurs
during the course of employment.
Work-sponsored events qualify if attendance is mandatory.
Employment must expose the claimant to a greater risk than what
is faced by the general public.
What should I do if I am injured on the job?
Notify your employer and file an incident report.
Get an aggressive, qualified attorney to represent you.
Bring the claim before the appropriate administrative body.
According to Illinois law, you may not bring a lawsuit in
circuit court.
COMMON WORK INJURIES

Temporary Total Disability Benefits (TTD)
Medical Benefits
Permanent Partial Disability Benefits (PPD)
Permanent Total Disability
Vocational Rehabilitation
Death Benefits
What if I get fired because I filed a worker’s comp claim?
That is called retaliatory discharge. It is illegal. An employer
is not allowed to fire you for seeking a legitimate benefit. If
you believe you have been terminated unfairly, let us know. We
can represent you and help you get the benefits to which you are
entitled.
Remember, when you bring a worker’s compensation claim, you are
not suing your employer. You are seeking benefits for which your
employer has insurance.
If you have any questions, call Franks & Rechenberg, P.C. We can
walk you through the worker’s comp system and explain what kinds
of worker’s comp benefits are available to you.
