Worker’s Compensation
At O’Connor & Nakos, our team of experienced workers’ compensation attorneys focuses their practice on aggressively protecting the rights of injured workers.
The Workers’ Compensation Act is designed to protect individuals who suffer injuries in the workplace. It specifically provides compensation and benefits for injuries or death suffered arising out of and in the course of employment. Our mission and commitment is to ensure injured workers in Illinois receive every benefit and protection provided by the Act and maximize recovery through settlements and trials before the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission.
Our experienced Workers’ Compensation attorneys have consistently obtained significant settlements and achieved successful resolutions for the injured workers they have represented. They are recognized as respected advocates and leaders in the complex field of Workers’ Compensation. The Workers’ Compensation attorneys at O’Connor & Nakos have maintained strong relationships with the workforce that they represent and have been strong advocates for laborers, tradesmen, and union members.
Our Workers’ Compensation Team goes beyond legal assistance and strives to assist our injured clients in resuming normal, satisfying, and productive lives. When necessary, we help our clients obtain vocational rehabilitation services and retraining to return to the workforce and restore lost earning potential. Our Workers’ Compensation attorneys take tremendous pride in building and maintaining strong, lifelong relationships with our clients and their families that have been adversely effected by workplace accidents and serious, often life-altering, injuries.
