Workplace Injury Guide: Steps to Get the Compensation You Deserve
Getting injured at work is something no one ever expects, and when it happens, everything can feel overwhelming. Medical bills start to grow, paychecks stop, and you are left wondering what to do next.
In Illinois, there is one important rule to remember. You must report a work related injury to your employer within 45 days. Missing that deadline could put your workers’ compensation benefits at risk, so acting quickly is critical.
This is exactly where we come in. At Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD, we have spent decades handling workers’ compensation cases. We know the system inside and out, from how insurance companies respond to which documents matter most. Our approach is straightforward and assertive when necessary, always focused on protecting injured workers. And if your case needs to go to trial, we are ready to fight for you.
Once you reach out to us, we guide you through every step of the process. We help you document your injury correctly, file your claim on time, communicate with your employer, and deal with the insurance company so you are not taken advantage of.
With more than 30,000 claims handled over 60 years, you are not just hiring a law firm — you are choosing proven experience. Every situation is different and we take time to understand your injury, your work, and how the accident impacts your life.
When you are hurt, you shouldn’t have to deal with paperwork, legal terms, and insurance pressure alone. Our job is to lift that burden so you can focus on healing. If you believe you deserve workers’ compensation, do not wait and hope things resolve themselves. Fast action can make all the difference in securing the benefits you need.
