Chicago Sheet Metal Workers Lawyers
Almost all types of workplace illnesses and injuries are covered under the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act. This law provides a way for workers to receive benefits for their workplace injuries, which are paid by their employers or their employers’ insurers.
Workers’ compensation benefits can be used to pay for a variety of workplace injuries and associated costs, including:
- Lost wages
- Medical bills
- Disability, partial or total
- Wrongful death
- Education and retraining costs
- Permanent disfigurement or scarring
The attorneys at GWC Injury Lawyers are workers’ compensation experts. We have represented thousands of injured workers since 1977 and recovered more than $2 billion in damages and benefits on behalf of our clients.
We also represent more union workers, including members of the Sheet Metal Workers International Association, than any other law firm in the state.
SMWIA: Representing Unique Members Of The Building Trade
The Sheet Metal Workers International Association is an AFL-CIO-affiliated union that represents more than 150,000 skilled workers in the U.S. and Canada. The SMWIA represents workers employed in a variety of industries, including railroad, service, manufacturing, shipyard trades, and the building trades.
Sheet metal workers are skilled members of the construction industry who take ordinary types of metals and transform them into specialized products. These workers are unique in the building trades because they design, produce, and install their own products. The SMWIA strives to develop the skills of its members through its four-year apprentice program and extensive on-the-job and classroom training.
Issues that the SMWIA addresses include promoting fair wages, fighting for fair trade that protects workers, and investment in our nation’s infrastructure.
