Goldberg Weisman Cairo is known as the "construction injury law firm"  by construction workers throughout Illinois. Building trades unions and organizations regularly turn to the injury lawyers at GWC when a member is injured and GWC has been honored with official designations by many of the states largest unions. No other law firm is more well respected by its adversaries and no other law firm represents more injured union construction workers than the chicago accident law firm, GWC.

Every one of GWC’s 33 injury lawyers has a solid working knowledge of how construction sites run and how particular operations are carried out.  Not only do we know the law as it relates to construction accidents, we have actually been responsible for  making law .  Due to our vast collective experience with construction-related injury matters, we are also able to readily identify important issues in a given case, such as the legal theories of liability that should be pursued and the entities that should be named as defendants in the litigation.  Our unique ability to recognize and deal with these aspects of your case in the early stages of the litigation is a significant reason why we consistently obtain such favorable results for our construction worker clients. Plain and simple, we understand construction and we know what construction workers do at work. We also have access to the finest expert witnesses that are so important to help prove liability in an accident case. Our past success gives us the unlimited resources to spend whatever it takes to prepare every case for trial against some of the largest accident defense law firms in the country. It is this preparation, our ability to spend what it takes to be successful and our committment to our construction worker clients and their unions that has enabled us to get the phenomenal results that we routinely obtain. The large verdicts we have received throughout the years is another reason why insurance companies regularly offer GWC  maximum value to settle our cases. They simply don't want to risk going to trial against GWC's  construction accident attorneys.

GWC has represented  members of virtually every organized union in Chicago and the state of Illinois.  Our union client list includes Iron Workers, Carpenters, Electricians, Laborers, Sheet Metal Workers, Painters, Operating Engineers, Bricklayers, Glaziers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, Cement Masons, Tile Setters, Boilermakers, Insulators, Plasterers, Sprinkler Fitters, Teamsters, Elevator Constructors, Machinists and Roofers.  We also maintain close ties to Illinois legislators and to every major labor organization in Illinois. We regularly lobby, and have testified on behalf of the AFL-CIO before the Illinois legislature to help shape  the often-changing construction negligence laws as we continually strive to protect our clients’ interests.
