Illinois Lawyer Referrals and Legal Guidance
Cook County Workers' Compensation Claims
Findgreatlawyers.com is a free service, run by Illinois lawyers, to find an attorney or obtain guidance for any Illinois legal matter, including Illinois workers’ compensation cases. Our founding attorneys are Chicago workers’ compensation lawyers and we are able to help people that contact us with work injury questions probably better than in any area of law that we help with. Please call us at (312) 346-5320 or (800) 517-1614 or fill out our contact us form and we will contact you. All inquiries are kept in strict confidence.
When a worker is either injured in Cook County, injured out of state while working for a company based in Cook County or injured out of state, but hired in Cook County, their workers compensation claim will be handled through the workers compensation commission that is located at the Thompson Center in downtown in "the loop".
Unlike other areas of law, there are no other locations in Cook County for hearings that arise out of workers compensation claims other than the Thompson Center. As a result, we almost exclusively recommend Chicago based workers compensation lawyers for Cook County workers compensation claims. Based on their proximity to the Thompson Center and the large volume of work injuries in Cook County these lawyers are able to focus their practice on only representing injured workers.
We strongly encourage people who contact us to use one of these lawyers because if you hire an attorney that does not focus their practice on representing injured Illinois workers, we do not feel that you will receive the best advice possible or obtain the best result. We say this because Illinois workers compensation laws are constantly changing and the great majority of defense attorneys do nothing, but handle workers compensation claims. As an injured worker you are putting yourself at a disadvantage if your lawyer does not exclusively focus on workers' compensation claims.
Although the great majority of lawyers we recommend for Cook County workers compensation claims are based out of Chicago, most of them live in the suburbs or are in the suburbs on a daily basis for depositions or other issues related to their work. As a result if you do not wish to travel downtown or handle your case by phone and the mail, these lawyers will usually meet their clients at a mutually convenient time in the suburbs.
If you have any questions about finding a lawyer or would like a referral to a workers compensation attorney for Cook County job injuries, please contact us.
