Medical bills, lost paychecks, and disability benefits — the insurance company won't hand them over. We make them pay. Talk to a real work-injury attorney today, free and confidential.
Tell us what happened. We'll call you back — usually within the hour.
Their adjusters protect their bottom line — not your recovery. Here's why injured workers call us first.
We work on contingency. You owe no fee unless we recover money for you — and in Illinois work-injury cases attorney fees are capped at 20% by law.
Stop fighting adjusters and paperwork. We deal with the insurance company, file your claim correctly, and push back when they lowball or deny you.
Illinois gives you a limited window to file and to report your injury to your employer. Wait too long and you can lose your right to benefits entirely.
Retaliating against a worker for filing a comp claim is illegal in Illinois. If your employer pressures or punishes you, we protect your rights.
A successful Illinois workers' compensation claim can cover far more than your ER bill.
Doctors, surgery, therapy, prescriptions and mileage — paid in full, with no copays or deductibles to you.
While you can't work, Illinois pays two-thirds of your average weekly wage, tax-free, until you recover.
A lump-sum settlement for lasting impairment or loss of use of a body part — often the largest part of a claim.
If you can't return to your old job, benefits to help you retrain and get back to work in a new field.
Hurt in one of these ways — or another way entirely? Call us. The consultation is free either way.
No upfront cost. No confusing forms. We do the heavy lifting from the first call.
Tell us what happened in a free, confidential review. It takes just a few minutes.
We gather records, file the paperwork, and take over every conversation with the insurer.
We fight for full medical coverage, lost wages, and the maximum settlement — you pay nothing unless we win.

"Working with David was a pleasure. From the first time I spoke to him I felt at ease. He was always keeping me updated on everything every step of the process and delivered more than expected for me in every way."
"I would highly recommend Attorney David Schwaner to anyone. Not only is David knowledgeable and a gifted attorney, he's a very sympathetic individual who takes the time to get to know you and your situation."
"Best in Chicago. Dave is connected in the area to several doctors and practices and will assist in making sure everything goes as smooth and professional as possible."
Correct. The consultation is free and we work on contingency — you pay no attorney fee unless we win benefits or a settlement for you. In Illinois, workers' comp attorney fees are capped at 20% by statute, so there are no surprises.
No. It is illegal in Illinois for an employer to fire, demote, or retaliate against you for filing a workers' compensation claim. If that happens, you may have a separate retaliatory-discharge case — and we'll protect you.
Generally, you must file within 3 years of the injury or 2 years from your last compensation payment, whichever is later — and you should report the injury to your employer within 45 days. Deadlines are strict, so it's best to call as soon as possible.
A denial is not the end. Many valid claims are denied at first. We can challenge the denial, gather the medical evidence you need, and take your case before the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission. Call us with your denial letter.
Most workers' comp claims settle without a trial. If a hearing is needed before the Commission, we handle it and stand beside you the whole way. Either way, you won't face the insurance company alone.
Every day you wait, the insurance company builds its case. Get yours started now. Call or request a free review and we'll reach out fast.
