Trial-Tested Chicago Workers’ Compensation Attorneys

Our firm is known for being trial-tested and litigation-ready. Attorneys at McHargue & Jones, LLC regularly represent injured workers before the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission, and have litigated cases in Cook County, Will County, DuPage County, and Kane County.

Our lawyers have extensive experience trying contested workers’ compensation cases, including claims that were previously denied or mishandled by other firms.

Helping All Injured People — Not Just the “Big Cases”

Some of our clients have suffered catastrophic or life-altering injuries, while others face injuries that still significantly affect their ability to work and earn a living. Unlike firms that only accept high-dollar claims, McHargue & Jones, LLC believes every injured person deserves strong legal representation.

Our attorneys—including Brenton M. Schmitz and Adam Rosner—proudly represent injured workers in both serious and less severe cases, ensuring every client receives personal attention and aggressive advocacy.

Leveling the Playing Field Against Insurance Companies

Insurance companies and large employers employ teams of defense attorneys whose goal is to minimize what injured workers receive. Our attorneys understand how insurers evaluate claims and defend cases—because several members of our firm previously worked on the defense side.

By hiring an experienced Chicago workers’ compensation and personal injury law firm, injured workers can level the playing field and pursue the maximum compensation available under Illinois law.
