In Illinois, there exists legislation to provide compensation for persons injured at work, without regard to fault. It provides for medical and disability payments to injured workers regardless of fault or responsibility. Your employer most likely carries workers compensation insurance. These matters are processed by the State of Illinois at the Illinois Industrial Commission. William Buddy Meyers Ltd. has more than thirty years of experience handling these claims on behalf of injured parties.

In addition to workers compensation claims you may be entitled to an action in tort against a third party that is not your employer. This is common in cases where your work requires driving, construction or premises liability cases where outside (third) party contractors or subcontractors provide services. There may also be the potential for a product liability case if you were injured using a dangerous or defective product at work.

The types of claims available to the working man are varied. It is essential that you contact us immediately to protect your rights.
