you are a Chicago-area tradesman who has been injured on a construction site, you are likely dealing with more than just the physical injury. Time off work, medical treatment, and uncertainty about what comes next can create real stress for you and your family.
We work with injured construction workers every day
At Morici, Longo & Associates, we work with injured construction workers every day, and we understand how quickly a job site injury can turn life upside down. We have a long history of success representing Local 1 Ironworkers, Local 597 Pipefitters, Local 130 Plumbers, and Local 134 Electricians, as well as carpenters, laborers, and operators.
Workers' compensation claims
We handle workers' compensation claims before the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission, making sure injured workers receive the medical care and wage benefits available under the law. That process alone can be overwhelming, especially when you are trying to recover at the same time.
Third-party claims beyond workers' compensation
We also take a close look at whether there is a third-party claim in addition to workers' compensation. On many construction sites, more than one company is involved in the work. That means someone other than your employer, such as a subcontractor, general contractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer, may also be responsible for what happened. Identifying that early can make a meaningful difference in the overall recovery available in a case.
Every job site injury is different
Every job site injury is different, and the details matter. We take the time to understand how the accident happened, who was involved, and what safety issues may have contributed to the injury. Most importantly, we know this is not just a legal claim. It is your health, your livelihood, and your ability to get back to work.
Consultations are free, and we are here to talk through what happened and help you understand your options. Learn more about our work on construction accidents and workers' compensation claims, or call (312) 779-0366.
