Rolling Meadows Workplace Injury Attorneys

Lawyers in Cook County for Victims Who Have Been Hurt on the Job

Each year, more than 100,000 workers in Illinois are injured in the course of doing their jobs, including public and private sector workers. More than one-third of such injuries generally cause the victim to miss time at work, and many injured workers need to be transferred or restricted in their duties as a result of their injuries.

At Newland & Newland, LLP, we understand that being injured in the workplace can have devastating effects on your life. Your employer may carry workers' compensation insurance, but sometimes, such benefits are not nearly enough to get you back to normal. If your injuries were caused by someone other than your employer-even partly-you may be able to file a personal injury claim to go along with your workers' compensation claim. A personal injury claim may also be appropriate for situations not covered by workers' compensation.

Our attorneys handle both workers' compensation claims and third-party claims for work-related injuries. We will help you explore and understand all of your available options for getting the compensation you need to start putting your life back together.

Aggressive Representation for Arlington Heights Work Injury Cases

When you have suffered a workplace injury, Illinois law prohibits you from filing a lawsuit against your employer or coworkers in most situations. There may, however, be other negligent parties who could be held liable for your injuries, depending on the circumstances. For example, if you are a subcontractor and you are injured while working on a construction site, the general contractor overseeing the project could be held responsible for not maintaining a reasonably safe worksite. Similarly, if your job requires you to drive and another party causes a car accident in which you are injured, you could seek damages from the at-fault party. In some cases, there may be several liable parties from whom you could collect compensation.

We have successfully helped workers from all sectors with their workplace injury claims, including employees and contractors working for:

• Delta Airlines;
• American Airlines;
• United Airlines;
• JP Morgan Chase;
• McDonald's;
• United Parcel Service (UPS)
• U.S. Postal Service; and
• Many other companies in Northern Illinois.
