Workers’ Compensation is a particularly technical area of the law requiring concentrated experience and expertise. Our lawyers are leaders in the field, respected by arbitrators and attorneys alike. We have extensive experience in every stage of the legal process from negotiations to trial through final appeal. Our presence and expertise can make the difference between winning and losing and between a complete and incomplete recovery. We accept cases in Cook, Kane, Kendall, DeKalb, Will, DuPage, McHenry and Lake counties. All cases are handled on a contingent fee basis, so there is no money owed unless a recovery is made. Because many work injuries also give rise to a personal injury or wrongful death claim, it is important that each case be evaluated early and carefully.

Illinois law does not permit as complete a recovery in workers' compensation cases as it does in personal injury cases. The law is just different for work place injuries. Nonetheless, the attorneys at Kinnally Flaherty Krentz & Loran, P.C. consistently obtain some of the highest recoveries in the state for workers injured on the job. Awards for some of the workers we have been proud to help include:

  • $871,651 present cash value trial award for 49-year-old HVAC worker who was permanently disabled due to low back injury and now receives weekly disability payments for life.
  • $702,663 for 45 year old truck driver who was permanently disabled due to a low back injury.
  • $500,000 trial award and subsequent settlement for a 40 year old who was permanently and totally disabled due to foot/leg injuries.
  • $416,250 trial award for 47-year-old industrial electrician who developed a spinal infection following a back strain requiring multi-level fusion.
  • $400,000 for wife and daughter of a 46 year old man who died from cardiac arrhythmia after working in a hot and unventilated production plant.
  • See Verdicts for other workers we have helped.
