Illinois Workers' Compensation Attorney
If you have been injured on the job, it is critical that you contact an experienced workers' compensation lawyer right away. While you may think that your employer is on your side, there is likely nothing they can do about the status of your work comp claim. Without experienced legal help, your case is entirely left up to your employer's workers' compensation insurance carrier. A lawyer trained in workers' compensation laws can ensure your rights are protected.
Whether you feel intimidated by an employer not to file a workers' compensation claim, or you want to fully understand your rights, if you have been injured at work, it is crucial that you speak with a lawyer before taking any major action. Contact my firm today and schedule a free consultation. I will help you fight for your rightful workers' compensation benefits.
At Mark B. Peavey, P.C., I can educate you about your rights as an employee. I assist clients in obtaining an independent examination by a medical professional who is NOT working for your employer's workers' compensation insurance carrier. That way, we can be certain that your medical examination is fair.
I Fight for Your Rights as an Employee
An injury at work is physically and emotionally exhausting. Not only have you been injured, but you may be concerned about keeping your job. You are worried about your family and your financial future. At Mark B. Peavey, P.C., I understand the challenges you are facing. I help clients recover the benefits they are entitled to for lost wages, medical expenses, and other coverage. I offer skilled representation in workers' compensation cases involving any type of work injury, including:
- Repetitive Use Trauma: such as carpal tunnel syndrome, knee injuries, back injuries, and other injuries (often sustained in loading trucks or ships)
- Aggravation of Preexisting Injuries: For example, a previous back injury or neck injury may be aggravated by a slip and fall at work
- Serious or Catastrophic Injury: a construction accident at work or other severe work accident can result in debilitating injuries, such as a spinal cord injury, amputation, traumatic brain injury (TBI), or severe burns. Occupational hazards, co-worker negligence, or dangerous products can also cause serious injuries, such as loss of hearing, loss of eyesight, or closed head injuries
Whether you have been injured in a long shore accident, a construction accident, or other work-related accident, it is essential that you contact an attorney as soon as possible - now, more than ever. There are many interests - from future Social Security to your health insurance - competing for a portion of your recovery. Having someone advocate for your interests only makes sense.
