Workers Compensation

Work injuries are some of the cases in need of the most immediate attention. Financial planners will tell us all until they are blue in the face that we are all supposed to have savings of 1 or 6 months of our monthly expenses in case we have a family or medical emergency. But for most people, that is just not easy to do. Contact the Law Office of Scott DeSalvo to get help in with your workers comp claim.

Construction Accidents

Construction work is physically demanding and dangerous. Safety on the site is often overlooked by those in charge simply to keep the job moving. Even a sprain or a broken bone can be devastating for a construction worker, who may no longer be able to do their job, even after healing.

Slip and Fall Injurys at Work

It may be surprising that slip & fall injuries equal almost one million cases in the U.S. every year. Out of that one million, approximately 300,000 end up to being disabling injuries in the workforce. Slip and fall accidents are proven to kill more workers than the combined total of other on-the-job fatalities. If you have experienced a slip & fall injury in the workplace contact the Law Office of Scott DeSalvo to find out what you need to do next.

Getting Back to Work

If you get hurt or sick because of work or while at work, your employer is required by law to pay for workers’ compensation benefits. If your doctor tells you that you cannot return to work while recovering from your injuries you cannot be required to go back to your job. Sometimes you can go back to your job with work restrictions if your employer is willing to make accommodations. Contact the Law Office of Scott DeSalvo to help you get all the answers you need regarding your workers comp claim.

Permanent Disability

Permanent disability is any lasting injury that results in a reduced earning capacity even after maximum recovery has been reached. If your injury or illness results in a permanent disability then you become entitled to permanent disability benefits.

Workers Compensation, Personal Injury and Construction Accident Lawyers in Chicago, IL

Construction accident and injuries can result in some of the most serious and permanent (and often, catastrophic) injuries I see in my law practice. Because of the high cost of serious necessary medical treatment, and the high insurance policy limits which cover many general contractors and sub-contractors, their insurance companies hire aggressive defense attorneys and these kinds of cases can turn into a real fight. You would be wrong to assume that anyone’s insurance company or lawyer is going to take it easy on you. Work related accidents tend to result in serious injuries because of the heavy equipment used, how physically difficult the work can be, and often times, the great heights that can be involved in construction work. construction accidents typically involve catastrophic injuries and even the loss of life. Broken legs, rotator cuff tears and neck and back surgeries may be the most common injuries I see coming off of a construction site, and these are the same kinds of injuries one can see in other kinds of cases, but injuries to this degree of seriousness happen less frequently in other kinds of accident. There can be little doubt: construction injuries are usually more serious.

The Key To Protecting Your Rights Is A Good Investigation, Right Away

If you or a loved one has been involved in a construction accident case, there are many, many facts and details that can mean the difference between winning the case or ending up with a lower settlement for your injuries than you deserve – or possibly even losing the case altogether. Identifying all responsible parties and their insurance coverage, establishing the applicable construction and safety standards, and having a thorough understanding of how the Workers’ Compensation case will affect the case – and vice versa – are perhaps the three most important things to analyze and investigate as early on in an injury case. Any time you are dealing with an insurance company – and in workers compensation accident cases, you almost always are – you must understand that you are dealing with people who spend their every waking hour trying to beat injured people out of their fair settlement for their construction accident injuries. There are large amounts of money on the line for the involved insurance companies, so they think nothing of spending money on lawyers to defeat your case.
