Every call a firefighter answers carries real danger – from battling intense flames to facing toxic smoke and hazardous environments. These brave men and women put their lives on the line every day, often at great personal risk, and the injuries they suffer can be life-changing or even fatal.

If you’re a firefighter in Illinois and you’ve been hurt on the job, you have the right to workers’ compensation benefits just like any other injured worker. These benefits can cover your medical bills, replace lost wages, and provide temporary or permanent disability support. For families who have lost a loved one due to a duty-related injury, death benefits may also be available.

Our legal team understands the unique challenges Illinois firefighters face when navigating the workers’ compensation system. We know the common pitfalls, delays, and denials  and we know how to fight back.

We represent firefighters dealing with all types of work-related injuries, including:

– Severe burns
– Cancer caused by chemical exposure
– Meningitis and other infections
– Head and brain injuries
– Heart disease
– Chronic respiratory illness
– Exposure to toxic substances
– Strains, sprains, and muscular injuries
– Orthopedic damage and broken bones

Too often, these injuries lead to permanent, life-altering conditions. If you’re struggling to get the benefits you deserve, the sooner you take action, the stronger your case.
