Many people who suffer a work injury are surprised to discover the process for collecting workers' compensation benefits can be complex and often contested. Insurance companies are in business to make money and will attempt to pay you as little as possible - often much less than you deserve. They take advantage of the fact that most people do not understand the details of Illinois workers' compensation law.
At Hannigan & Botha, Ltd., our attorneys advocate for injured workers in Northern Illinois. We are committed to maximizing the amount our clients recover in workers' comp claims. Because our attorneys previously worked for insurance companies, they are familiar with the strategies that are used to minimize the benefits injured workers receive or to deny legitimate claims altogether.
They left those companies to help working men and women who otherwise would be susceptible to these tactics. Timely action is critical in these cases. The sooner we begin fighting for your rights, helping you claim the compensation you deserve, the better.

How much time do I have to file a claim for workers' compensation?
This is called a statute of limitations and you have three years from the date of accident or two years from the last payment of compensation; whichever is longer.
The earlier you contact an attorney the easier it becomes for us to make sure you get the benefits you have the rights to.
Remember, your employer will not advise you of all your rights.
When do I pay the attorney for his involvement on my claim?
