Work Comp Attorneys

We Can Help When You’re Injured on the Job

If you suffered an injury on the job, your employer’s workers’ compensation should cover your medical treatment and compensate you for lost wages.

Unfortunately, many work accident injury victims are denied the benefits they’re entitled to. If your employer or their workers’ comp insurer has denied or discontinued your benefits, an experienced attorney can help.

A workers’ compensation lawyer will fight to get you the benefits you deserve and hold your employer and the insurance company accountable for their actions.

Do You Need a Lawyer to Help with Your Workers’ Compensation Claim?

Whether you were hurt on the job in Iowa or Illinois, you do not need an attorney to file a workers’ comp claim. In fact, employees file claims every day and successfully get the benefits they are entitled to under the law.

In some cases, however, victims need help from an experienced attorney to get their benefits. Some of the most common reasons that workplace accident victims call a lawyer include having their claim denied or having their benefits terminated before they fully recover from their injuries.

You should also consider calling a lawyer if your employer failed to maintain a current workers’ compensation insurance policy, as most employers must do by law.

Although you can’t file a lawsuit against your employer if they had a workers’ comp policy in place when you got hurt, you could have the right to pursue a legal claim under other circumstances. For example, if a third party caused or contributed to your injuries, you may be able to recover compensation from that party.

If you sustained permanent injuries or long-term disability as the result of a workplace accident, consider talking to an attorney about the value of your damages. Insurance companies will take whatever steps possible to minimize their liability.

Having a lawyer can help protect your legal rights to compensation for your damages and get you the settlement you deserve for your injuries.

    Eye Injury While on the Job

    Our client was working as an electrician when a wire punctured his cornea. The injury limited his ability to work and earn a paycheck.

How Can VanDerGinst Law Help You?

The workers' comp attorneys of VanDerGinst Law will advocate for you and fight to get you the compensation you deserve.

Even if the accident was your fault, you have the right to workers' comp benefits as long as you weren’t breaking the law, engaging in dangerous behavior, or violating safety policies at the time.

Unfortunately, employers and their insurers don’t always treat workplace injury victims fairly. Our legal team will hold them accountable and work hard to ensure you get the compensation you deserve.

In Iowa, you have only two years to take legal action in a workers’ compensation case.

In Illinois, you have three years to file a lawsuit.

If you fail to take action within that time, you risk losing your right to compensation.

Contacting the personal injury lawyers of VanDerGinst Law will get you the answers and information you deserve.

We offer a no-cost, no-obligation consultation and case review for workplace injury victims in Illinois and Iowa.

With national resources and local connections, our personal injury attorneys can get you the maximum compensation for your personal injury claim.

Our Personal Injury Lawyers Also Have the Inside Track into The Insurance Industry.  We do not, and never will, represent insurance companies, thus always ensuring that we never have a conflict of interest in representing our injury clients.  But we employ former insurance adjusters and insurance defense lawyers who know the tricks of the trade.  We put that knowledge to work for you!

If you have suffered serious injuries, you need a personal injury law firm that focuses on injury law, rather than a lawyer who occasionally “dabbles”.  The practice of law is a lot like the practice of medicine. There are practitioners who have “general” practices and others who specialize.

At VanDerGinst Law we focus on injury law.

We are not saying that general practice lawyers cannot handle an occasional injury claim. But, if you needed brain surgery you would see a brain surgeon, not the family doctor, nor a gynecologist. By the same token, you can feel completely confident that you will be in good hands with the personal injury lawyers of VanDerGinst Law.

We can expertly handle ANY injury case that comes our way.

At VanDerGinst Law we handle personal injury cases on a contingent fee basis.  That means that if we fail in getting you money for your injuries, there is NO ATTORNEY FEE.  You will NEVER be out of pocket a penny.  We do not get paid unless and until you do.  Our fee is a percentage of the amount recovered. The percentage depends on the type of case we handle and whether the case must be litigated.  But it is never more than 40% of the recovery and is usually between 20% and one third.

Additionally, even though other personal injury lawyers say they charge a contingent fee, they may also require a retainer fee for costs (for filing fees, expert fees, court reporter fees, postage, records, etc.)  That can often be hundreds, even thousands of dollars.  At VanDerGinst Law we charge NO RETAINER FEE on injury cases.  We forward all costs necessary to pursue your claim.

We know how devastating serious injuries can be.  You may be suffering pain and incurring medical bills.  You may not be able to work due to your injuries.  The personal injury claims process can be agonizing, confusing and frustrating. The last thing you need is to hassle with medical providers, insurance carriers and adjusters.

Let VanDerGinst Law handle the stress and mess so you can concentrate on getting better!

We make opening a personal injury case as quick and convenient as possible.  You can visit one of our convenient office locations, or if you prefer, we can come to you.

We can also open most files right on the phone or online! Video conferencing is also available!

We are available 24/7 every day of the year! Simply click here or call 800-797-5391

We do whatever is reasonably necessary to open your file as quickly and easily as possible.  Once we open your file, we take immediate action to investigate and position your case to get the maximum compensation you deserve.

Many law firms require injury clients to track down medical and other documents.  At VanDerGinst Law our Personal Injury Lawyers and professional staff do all the work necessary to document your injuries.  We obtain all the records from medical providers.  We coordinate health insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, medical payment insurance, and any other benefits which may apply to your case.  We negotiate with the insurance adjuster and other representatives of the opposing party.  We do our best to position your case for the best settlement possible.  If the opponent doesn’t offer a reasonable settlement, our highly experienced personal injury attorneys are prepared to do battle in court, where we will fight hard to get you the best result.
