Workers' Compensation
At the Law Offices of Steven J. Malman & Associates, our Illinois workers’ compensation attorneys know how frustrating and confusing the claims process can be. Tragically, many injured workers either never bother to file for workers’ comp or settle for far less than they otherwise might be able to get, simply because they don’t understand their rights. Insurance companies and employers count on your ignorance. After all, it’s in their financial interest to pay out as little as possible for your medical bills, time off work, and other costs. This isn’t to say that claims adjusters act maliciously, obviously – but rather to drive home the point that insurance companies are self interested.
You need someone who’s purely on your side. Our Chicago workers’ compensation lawyers boast more than 15 years of experience wrangling bad faith insurance companies, uncooperative employers, and other parties. We passionately believe that injured workers deserve good compensation, and we know the law inside and out. We’ve served over 6,000 clients since 1994, and we're happy to provide testimonials upon request.
Many insurance companies will pay for your medical bills, and they even may pay you while you're off of work. However, what they likely won’t tell you is that you're also entitled to a lump sum settlement. This lump sum can be worth thousands of dollars – or much more.
Studies show that claimants who “go it alone” (file without the help of an attorney) get two to three times less than what they get with good legal counsel on their side. When you call 1-888-625-6265 or email info@malmanlaw.com, you’ll immediately be connected with an experienced Il workers’ comp attorney, who will go to work filing your claim. We’ll present your case to an arbitrator and set the process of getting you your benefits in motion. We know the typical tricks and tactics insurance companies use to deny claims or to withhold benefit checks. We can counter those if they're deployed, and we are not afraid to take insurance companies to court on your behalf, if need be.
You work hard to deliver for your family, and you do your job well. You deserve the most effective legal representation possible for your workers’ comp case. Our lawyers are on call 24/7, and you pay no upfront fees. Indeed, if we can’t collect money for you, our services are free.
