What to Do After a Work Injury Near Chicago
- Report the injury to your employer immediately. Do it in writing — text, email, or incident report. You have 45 days under Illinois law but don’t wait.
- Get medical attention and tell the doctor it happened at work. The first medical record is critical evidence in your case.
- Do not give a recorded statement to the insurance company. You are not legally required to, and it can be used against you.
- Contact a workers’ comp attorney before signing anything. Once you sign a release in Illinois, the case is closed. A free call to us costs nothing.
- Let us take over. From filing your claim to negotiating your settlement — or taking your case to a hearing — we handle everything.
Frequently Asked Questions — Workers Comp Attorney Near Me

Q: How quickly can I get a consultation with a workers’ comp attorney near me?
We aim to speak with new callers the same day whenever possible. Work injuries have time-sensitive deadlines — 45 days to notify your employer, 3 years to file a formal claim — and we treat every call as urgent. Do not wait.
Q: Is there a workers’ comp attorney near me who handles construction injuries?
Yes. Construction injuries are one of the most common types of workers’ compensation cases we handle.

Q: What if my employer doesn’t have workers’ compensation insurance?
Employers in Illinois are required by law to carry workers’ compensation coverage. If your employer is uninsured, you can file a claim directly with the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission, which has mechanisms to pursue uninsured employers.
