Schaumburg, IL Third-Party Claim Cases Lawyers

Experienced Workers' Compensation Attorneys in Illinois

When you are injured on the job, you are eligible for workers' compensation benefits through your employer's workers' compensation insurance. Under Illinois law, in most cases, employees cannot sue their employers for their injuries. If another party was partially or totally at fault for your injuries, however, you may file a personal injury claim against that party in addition to your workers' compensation claim.

At the personal injury and workers' compensation law firm of Grauer & Kriegel, LLC, we are experienced in handling workplace accidents involving third-party cases. We know how to maximize the financial recovery of our clients and hold all liable parties accountable.

Third-Party Claims and Workers' Compensation Claims in Arlington Heights, Elk Grove Village, and Surrounding Areas

Workplace injuries can dramatically change your life both in the short-term and the long-term. While workers' compensation insurance is designed to compensate you for your injuries, even full benefits may not be sufficient in the face of a serious injury. If another party other than your employer shared at least partial responsibility for your accident, pursuing a personal injury case (third-party claim) can help you maximize your recovery and compensate you for your financial damages.

There are many situations in which another party may share the blame for a workplace accident such as:

• When a sub-contractor is injured on a construction site, the general contractor may be liable for an unsafe work environment;
• When a truck driver is injured in a motor vehicle accident, and the other driver was at fault; and
• When a delivery person is injured in a slip and fall accident while making a delivery to a business or residence.
