When an employee is injured on the job, the employer must provide immediate assistance including payment of lost time, medical expenses, and even permanent disability. With today’s rising costs, employers need to protect their interests more than ever. Our attorneys have over 175 years of combined experience in navigating the complexities of the workers’ compensation system at the settlement, trial and appellate levels with one singular focus: to reduce employers’ costs. Whether we’re defending the largest multi-national manufacturing corporation or the smallest family business, we adapt our strategies to maintain that singular focus on reducing your costs.
To that end, we are available to provide expert assistance at every level of the claims process, from real-time analysis of a new injury to a landmark case before the Supreme Court. In addition, we regularly conduct seminars that are relevant to new and experienced claims personnel alike. Moreover, we are heavily involved with various lobbying groups to ensure that employers’ voices are heard during the legislative process. Again, every step we take is focused on the singular mission of reducing employers’ costs.
We recognize that workers’ compensation and civil issues are often interrelated and we have expanded our practice to meet our clients’ needs. Our team of experienced civil attorneys is prepared to handle all types of civil defense including:
- Auto liability
- Premises liability
- Municipality defense
- Construction defense
- Products liability
- Subrogation recovery
- Appellate work
- Commercial litigation
We represent clients before the Circuit Courts of Illinois and the Illinois Appellate and Supreme Courts. Our extensive trial experience allows us to quickly and accurately evaluate each case and advise our clients as to whether a claim should be pursued or defended to achieve your objective. With ourexpertise in both workers’ compensation and civil liability, we can reduce employer liability while recouping workers’ compensation lien monies.
The Medicare system can be a daunting one to negotiate, so we offer a knowledgeable team of attorneys, physicians and nurses with experience in negotiating this process. We offer hourly or flat-rate pricing for all Medicare Set-Aside related issues, including: general questions, Set-Aside pricing, submissions of Set-Asides to Medicare and requests for conditional payment information. We pride ourselves on being able to give well-rounded legal advice and services, tailored to your specific case. Our Set-Aside proposals are each compiled by attorneys, rather than office staff or paralegals, to ensure that your Set-Aside proposal outlines not only the medical issues, but the legal issues as well.
