Workers' Compensation

In Illinois, workers are protected by the Illinois Workers' Compensation Act. This law allows for any employed worker to bring a claim in the Illinois Industrial Commission (ICC). Compensation is mandated by Illinois law. If you are a Chicago railroad employee, the federal statute under the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA) governs your right to compensation for work-related injuries and illnesses.

We will walk you through, step-by-step to make sure that you receive the benefits you need, get your checks on time, and collect all that you're entitled to. It's very important to contact us as soon as you have been injured so that your rights can be protected.

Anyone who has been injured at work qualifies for workers' compensation. Under Illinois workers' compensation laws, you are entitled to temporary total disability payments. These payments should be based on your current average weekly wage. In addition, all of your medical bills are paid.

It is important to have a qualified attorney representing you in your workers' compensation claim. If you are not able to return to your job in the future because of your injury, your employer is obligated to provide compensation for you. However, you need to make sure that this compensation adequately accounts for your future needs because once it has been determined and paid out, there is no more room for negotiation. A Chicago workers' compensation attorney from Kreisman Law Offices can help you negotiate your workers' compensation claim before it's too late.

Also, if you were injured at work while using a product, you might also have a product liability claim against the product's manufacturer. Kreisman Law Offices can review your case and determine if there is an additional claim for your injury.

“We were devastated when our 31 year-old son was killed by a negligent driver. Kreisman Law Offices did everything to help us through this very difficult time, including coming out to the house several times which was a comfort. My wife and I were extremely pleased with Mr. Kreisman’s compassion and care for this very tragic and troubling time.” C.B.
★★★★★
“Bob Kreisman did everything possible in handling the trial of this case. It was devastating that I traumatically lost my leg above the knee in this truck accident. However, it was not an easy case to win. His staff was so prepared for the trial that it was not surprising that the settlement offers continued to rise until we finally accepted the multi-million settlement while the jury was still deciding the case. My wife and I were delighted that we could secure our future with this settlement. We thank Mr. Kreisman and his incredible staff for working so hard for our benefit.” T.P.
★★★★★
“My mother died because doctors dropped the ball. I called Robert Kreisman and he immediately set up an appointment for my entire family. We met at his offices and I was very comfortable that he would do the best for my dad and my brothers. He spent hours with all of us in preparing for depositions and he hired top notch experts, all of which contributed to an incredible settlement before trial. I know that he is dedicated to his cases and particularly to the people he works for and the people who work with him. He continues to be generous in contributing annually to my mother’s memory and to make known to the public the signs and symptoms of brain tumors.” V.S.
★★★★★
“My dad was ignored and mistreated at the nursing home that we placed him in. It didn’t take long for us to realize that we made a big mistake, particularly after my dad developed these terrible bedsores. We transferred him as we were contacting Mr. Kreisman. He was referred to us by a lawyer we have known for a long time and respect his opinion. Mr. Kreisman and his staff worked tirelessly to resolve this case. We were fortunate to have his services and will recommend him to anyone.” T.J.
