Lifting Injuries Attorneys in Schaumburg, IL

Workers' Comp Lawyers for Heavy Lifting Injuries in Elk Grove Village, Arlington Heights, and Cook County

Anyone who lifts heavy objects while on the job is at risk for a lifting injury. These injuries are extremely common, and they can be severely debilitating. Recovering from a lifting injury typically requires time away from lifting, which may mean time during which you will not be able to work. At the Illinois law firm of Grauer & Kriegel, LLC, our attorneys help injured workers obtain the workers' compensation benefits they need and deserve.

Workers' Compensation Benefits in Illinois

There are many jobs for which lifting is required. Even with proper lifting techniques, injuries can and do happen. Lifting heavy objects can result in back and neck injuries, rotator cuff injuries, torn biceps, wrist injuries, and a variety of other injuries. Some injuries may occur in an accident, while others may be repetitive injuries that progressively worsen over time. Our attorneys are experienced in handling workers' compensation claims for lifting injuries that occur in all types of professions, including:

• Nurses and other health care professionals who lift patients;
• Warehouse workers lifting palates and inventory;
• Construction workers lifting building materials;
• Airline workers lifting baggage;
• Truck drivers and delivery drivers lifting boxes; and
• Mechanics lifting car parts.

Regardless of your profession, when you are injured on the job and unable to work temporarily, you are entitled to temporary total disability (TTD) benefits. If you are unable to return to your job because of your injury, you may be entitled to wage differential benefits, permanent partial disability (PPD), or permanent total disability (PTD) benefits.
