Chicago Workers’ Compensation and Personal Injury Attorneys
McHargue & Jones, LLC represents injured workers and accident victims throughout Chicago, Cook County, DuPage County, Will County, Kane County, Lake County, and communities across Illinois. Our attorneys focus on helping people recover benefits and compensation after serious workplace injuries, motor vehicle crashes, truck accidents, falls, unsafe property incidents, and other life-changing injuries.
Our law firm handles Illinois workers’ compensation claims and personal injury cases for injured people — not insurance companies. We help clients pursue medical treatment, temporary total disability benefits, wage loss benefits, permanent disability awards, settlements, and compensation for pain and suffering, loss of normal life, and long-term injury consequences.
For injured workers, our Chicago workers’ compensation lawyers represent employees in physically demanding jobs across Illinois, including warehouse workers, delivery drivers, union workers, construction workers, airline and airport employees, factory workers, mechanics, healthcare workers, grocery workers, retail employees, teachers, maintenance workers, and public employees. We regularly handle denied claims, disputed injuries, repetitive trauma cases, back and neck injuries, shoulder and knee injuries, lifting injuries, machinery injuries, falls, and cases where the insurance company refuses to approve medical treatment.
For accident victims, our Illinois personal injury attorneys litigate serious car accident cases, truck accident cases, slip and fall and premises liability claims, and crashes involving uninsured and underinsured motorists. In workplace injury cases caused by someone other than the employer, our team also evaluates whether the injured worker may have a separate third-party personal injury claim in addition to workers’ compensation benefits.
