Arlington Heights Workers' Compensation Attorneys

Lawyers for Employees Injured on the Job in Rolling Meadows and Palatine

If you were hurt at work, you may be facing an uncertain future, and you may be feeling confused and overwhelmed regarding the reality of the situation. You might require months of medical care and rehabilitation, or possibly a permanent disability. Under the law in Illinois, employers must maintain workers' compensation insurance coverage, but just because your employer carries workers' comp coverage does not mean that getting the benefits you deserve will be easy after a workplace injury.

At Newland & Newland, LLP, we know that employees have been injured in the course of doing their jobs should be eligible to receive workers' compensation benefits. We also know, however, that workers' compensation insurance carriers often make things difficult for victims who have already suffered enough. If you or a loved one has been injured on the job, our experienced attorneys are dedicated to helping you secure the benefits promised under the law and to get you back to work as soon possible.

We can even help you collect benefits if your accident aggravated pre-existing injuries or medical conditions.

Do I Really Need a Workers' Comp Attorney?

Because workers' compensation coverage is required by law in Illinois, most work injury victims believe that receiving the appropriate benefits will be automatic and easy. Sadly, this not always the case. If you sprained your knee in a fall, for example, and missed a day of work but had no recurring problems, you might not need to hire an attorney to recover one day's pay. If, however, your knee was dislocated, your leg was broken, or your workers' comp claim is being delayed, a lawyer could help you sort out the situation. Contacting a lawyer is also a good idea if you are unsure about going back to work or if you have any other questions about the workers' compensation process in Illinois.
