The Law Offices of Steven J. Malman & Associates, P.C. understands how devastating it can be when someone who is gainfully employed is injured on the job and no longer has a source of income. The first thing our workers' compensation attorneys will do is make sure that you get your benefits right away.

In the state of Illinois, employees injured on the job get two-thirds of their regular pay, tax-free, while they are away from work and recovering. All medical bills are paid for in full, and depending on your disability, you will receive a lump sum settlement. To see what benefits you are entitled to under Illinois law, visit our workers' compensation benefits page.

Even though you may be entitled to workers' compensation, you can best avoid delays and insufficient compensation and coverage by retaining the services of a law firm that knows how to successfully file a workers' compensation claim. Our workers' compensation lawyers are aggressive about making sure that your weekly benefits are paid, you are getting the care that you need, and your settlement covers your disabilities.

We also have a physician on our staff with a law degree. He will look at your injuries to make sure that you are not getting shortchanged on the amount of compensation that you should be receiving. If necessary, we will consult with other medical specialists and experts who can also help us quantify your injury and recovery amount.

A Workers' Compensation Claim is NOT A Personal Injury Lawsuit
When you are filing a workers' compensation claim, it is important to note that you are not filing a personal injury lawsuit. You are filing a claim against your employer and its insurance company for your injury, which you sustained on the job.

The process for filing a workers' compensation claim is very different from filing a personal injury lawsuit. You are dealing with an arbitrator, not a jury. You can get your case heard on an emergency basis. You are entitled to benefits even while your case is being resolved. A judge or an arbitrator must approve any settlement.
