Chicago Workers’ Compensation Lawyer

Protecting the Rights of Injured Workers in Illinois

When you’re injured on the job, you count on workers’ compensation benefits to help you recover. These benefits can cover medical expenses, replace lost wages, and provide rehabilitation services so you can return to work when it’s safe. Unfortunately, the process is not always straightforward. Many workers face denied claims, delayed payments, or pressure from their employer to return before they are ready.

Attorney Joseph P. Doyle fights for injured employees throughout Chicago and the surrounding Illinois communities. From filing your initial claim to appealing a denial, our team is here to protect your rights and ensure you receive the full benefits you are entitled to under Illinois law.

Understanding Illinois Workers’ Compensation

Workers’ compensation is a form of insurance required by Illinois law that provides benefits to employees who suffer job-related injuries or illnesses. These benefits are available regardless of who caused the injury, but you must meet strict filing requirements and deadlines. 

Common benefits include:

• Payment for all reasonable medical treatment related to your injury
• Temporary total disability (TTD) benefits if you are unable to work during recovery
• Permanent partial or total disability benefits if your injury results in lasting impairment
• Vocational rehabilitation services if you cannot return to your previous job

These benefits are designed to help you recover physically and financially after a workplace injury, but obtaining them often requires skilled legal guidance.
