When GWC is your law firm, your employer knows there will be no compromise until you get the compensation you deserve.

That’s important because Illinois’ workers’ compensation laws are complex.  Moreover, the scenarios that give rise to workers’ compensation claims against one’s employer often present the potential for further recovery via lawsuits against other entities.  The types of cases that might arise in such situations include product liability, medical malpractice and negligence, to name a few.  Because GWC handles a wide range of personal injury cases, we are well positioned to aggressively pursue third-party litigation to help our clients receive maximum verdicts or settlements.

We also go beyond strict legal assistance and the settlement of compensation claims.  GWC’s attorneys  make sure that you get the proper amount of weekly benefits (ttd) that you deserve and will monitor and advise you about the medical care you are receiving. Doctors and hospitals alike know of our law firms reputation for representing the seriously injured and often give special treatment to our clients. GWC lawyers will also help clients obtain vocational rehabilitation services, if necessary, to help restore lost earning power.  Many of our clients go on to receive additional education or attend certification programs that enable then to gain the necessary skills that help them restore their earning power.  It is important to us that our clients be able to return to satisfying and productive lives.

We take pride in maximizing the settlements we obtain for our workers’ compensation clients.
