Since 1989, our Chicago workers' compensation attorneys have represented injured workers throughout Illinois. The workers' compensation lawyers at James P. Crawley & Associates, Ltd., have successfully obtained large settlements on behalf of injured workers, as well as secured payment of our client's medical bills, rehabilitation, job training and lost wages. An experienced workers' compensation attorney is critically important to help you obtain justice and compensation.
We handle a wide variety of workmens' compensation matters. The Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission (formerly the Illinois Industrial Commission) operates a system for workers' compensation benefits. The workers' compensation lawyers and personal injury attorneys at our Chicago, Illinois-based firm can navigate the complicated Workers' Compensation Commission to obtain maximum compensation on your behalf. Our workers' compensation lawyers screen each workers' compensation injury for all sources of compensation, including actions against someone other than the employer (third-party) who may have contributed to the cause of your injury.
If you are injured at work, the compensation you are entitled to may not be limited to workers' compensation benefits. Often times, through the investigation of our workers' compensation lawyers, we find out that a "work comp" client not only has a valid workers' compensation claim, but also a personal injury claim against one or more third-parties. Third party actions can substantially increase the final compensation awarded to the injured worker.
Our workers' compensation lawyers work on a contingency fee basis established through the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission. If we do not secure compensation on your behalf, you pay no legal fees.
Likewise, if our personal injury attorneys believe you have a potential personal injury claim against someone other than your employer, we would handle that case on a contingency fee basis as well.
Our workers' compensation attorneys know firsthand the financial and personal impact a work injury can have on the family. That is why we aggressively handle each workers' compensation claim as if we were representing a member of our own family. James Crawley understands the burden of having a breadwinner off from work because of an injury. He comes from a proud, working-class family of labor union members. His immediate family includes members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), Service Employees International Union (SIEU), Teamsters and International Chemical Workers Union (ICWU).
