Workplace Injury Claims

Workers in Illinois are exposed to a wide range of hazards on the job. When an illness or injury occurs, it could be the fault of the employer, a third party, or both. For example, on a typical construction site, there may be several parties working alongside each other. If an accident occurs that results in an injury, there may be multiple contributing factors, and an extensive examination is needed to determine who is at fault and the best legal strategy to secure a positive outcome for the injury victim. Some possible legal avenues may include a worker's compensation claim if the employer is at fault, a premises liability claim if the injury resulted from hazards on the property of a third party, a claim under the Illinois Jones Act if you are a crewman on a boat or vessel, and many others.
