Third-Party Cases and Workers’ Comp
Illinois personal injury lawyers say with any construction injury, you must always evaluate whether there is a “third-party” case. Third-party cases are frequently overlooked as a means of obtaining just compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, disability, property damage, loss of future earning capacity and loss of normal life.
In Chicago, personal injury attorneys are committed to the pursuit of third-party cases on behalf of their clients when warranted, with a history of record-setting jury verdicts.
Severe injuries to construction workers are devastating. Since construction work is usually heavy duty and there is frequently no light or moderate duty work available, a serious injury can mean a loss of career. Since tradesmen are usually well paid and have excellent benefits, it’s almost impossible for the injured worker to find a comparable job. Many households end up in divorce over this tragedy.
In a number of conservative states, construction workers are poorly paid and have terrible laws protecting them. Thankfully, Illinois has reasonable laws that recognize the hard work and sweat that the construction worker puts into his job. Jurors recognize it also. Hence, if a knowledgeable Illinois personal injury lawyer can demonstrate the injury was partially caused by someone other than your employer, they can frequently obtain full and substantial compensation for the injury.
