When you are injured at work, the situation quickly becomes more than a medical problem. Lost wages, mounting bills, and a complex claims process create overwhelming stress, while employers and insurance companies rely on experienced teams of adjusters, investigators, nurses, doctors, and defense attorneys to minimize the cost of your claim. Leveling the playing field requires a firm that understands the system inside and out. That is what makes KBG different.

With more than 60 years of combined legal experience in workers’ compensation law, KBG has built a strong reputation as a trusted and effective advocate for injured workers throughout Illinois. Many of our attorneys began their careers representing insurance companies and defense firms, giving us a unique insider perspective.

We understand how insurers evaluate claims, how they attempt to reduce their financial exposure, and what strategies they use to delay, deny, or undervalue benefits. That knowledge allows us to anticipate their moves, build stronger cases, and position our clients for the best possible outcome. Our credibility with defense attorneys, insurance adjusters, and the Arbitrators and Commissioners at the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission helps ensure your case is taken seriously at every stage of the process.

While we are one of the largest firms in Illinois dedicated exclusively to representing injured workers, we have never lost our personal, client-focused approach. From the moment you hire our firm, you will work directly with the licensed attorney handling your case. You will not be passed through layers of staff or left wondering who is responsible for your claim. We return calls. We provide regular updates. We take the time to answer your questions and explain your options. Most importantly, we never place the firm’s interests ahead of yours.

Our approach is aggressive when it needs to be and strategic at every stage. Many cases resolve through negotiated settlements, but what truly distinguishes KBG is that we are always trial ready. Insurance companies know which firms settle quickly and which firms are fully prepared to fight. That difference can directly impact the value of your case. Our attorneys regularly and successfully try cases before Arbitrators at the IWCC and have extensive experience presenting arguments before the Circuit Court and the Appellate Court. When a fair settlement is not offered, we do not hesitate to move forward to protect your rights.

Choosing a workers’ compensation attorney is an important decision. What sets KBG apart is the combination of insider knowledge, decades of focused experience, professional credibility, direct attorney access, and true trial readiness. When you hire KBG, you are not just hiring a lawyer. You are hiring a dedicated team committed to protecting your rights and pursuing the full compensation you deserve.
