Everyone with a work-related injury would like to be represented by the best workers’ compensation lawyer in Illinois. However, there really is no such thing as the best lawyer; instead, some lawyers are a better match for you than others, depending on your type of injury, the size of damages you are seeking, where (in what geographic area) the injury took place, and several other factors. The same lawyers who would be a great fit for you might not be a very good choice for someone else.
For example, there are certain attorneys that have had a great deal of success with unique injuries like complex regional pain syndrome (RSD). That doesn’t mean that other attorneys couldn’t get you a good result, it just means that you have a better chance of success with a lawyer that truly understands the injury and can prove it by their track record.
Along the same lines, since disputed Illinois workers’ compensation claims are decided by Arbitrators, we feel that it is very important that you hire an attorney that regularly appears before that Arbitrator and has a good relationship with them. On countless occasions we’ve seen lawyers win a case that others would have lost just because the Arbitrator likes them. We’ve also seen attorneys that get on the bad side of the Arbitrator lose cases that others would have won.
Another example where certain lawyers would be better than others is if you have a significant injury that is going to cause you a career change or prevent you from working ever again. Many attorneys could handle your case, but a law firm that has demonstrated success with these cases gives you the best chance for the greatest result. Hiring a law firm that either doesn’t know how to value these cases or won’t do whatever is needed for you could be a difference of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The main reason people come to us is to help them figure out who is best for them and their particular situation. We are attorneys who will listen to your unique situation, answer any questions that you have, and if possible, refer you to an independent attorney who we think is the right fit for you. We offer no guarantees other than that we will treat you like a family member or friend.
