Worker’s Compensation/Work Injuries

Compensacion para Empleados Since we must go out into the world to work and provide for ourselves and our families, we are forced to expose ourselves to a multitude of dangerous environments and situations that we might not otherwise be engaged in. If you are injured in any way while on the job, it is critical that you know your rights and what benefits you are entitled to under the Illinois Worker’s Compensation Act. Now more than ever, especially with current laws that the Illinois legislature recently enacted to limit the rights of the injured Illinois worker, it is important that you contact a highly competent worker’s compensation law firm.

The current legislation has made it easier than ever for employers and insurance carriers to deny compensable claims. If you fail to contact an attorney immediately after you are injured, you could risk losing critical benefits such as payment of medical bills, choice of doctors, weekly paychecks, and future job retraining.

At Sutter & Ori, we pride ourselves in representing injured workers. We have obtained tens of millions of dollars for injured Illinois workers and continue to fight for the cause of protecting workers that are not being treated properly by their employers following a work-related injury. Our worker’s compensation lawyers will relentlessly fight for you until you and your family are made whole.
