Wheaton workers compensation lawyers- an overview of the DuPage County workers compensation hearing location
Like most attorneys that focus their practice on representing injured workers in Illinois, we don't just handle cases in Chicago. In fact with our state-wide network of like-minded attorneys, we can help people anywhere. Here is a brief overview of the workers' compensation hearing location in Wheaton.
The hearing location takes place in the DuPage County Government Center at 421 N. County Farm Road. Your case will be heard there if you were injured in DuPage County or hurt out of state while working for a company that is based out of DuPage County.
Currently there are two Arbitrators that hear trials in DuPage County for work injuries, Arbitrator Erbacci and O'Malley. Each of them hears cases for one week out of the month.
Although the hearing location is in Wheaton, you will find that most of the attorneys are not from DuPage County work injury law firms. Instead the great majority of lawyers are actually based out of Chicago. Unlike divorce or criminal defense, you might actually hurt your case by hiring a local lawyer. The most important thing is that they and their firm regularly appear before each of these Arbitrators and focus their practice on Illinois workers' compensation claims.
Injuries in any of the following cities will result in your case being heard at the DuPage County hearing site:
| ADDISON BENSENVILLE BLOOMINGDALE BURR RIDGE BUTTERFIELD CAROL STREAM CLARENDON HILLS DARIEN DOWNERS GROVE DUPAGE COUNTY (WHEATON) ELMHURST GLEN ELLYN GLEN ELLYN HEIGHTS GLENDALE HEIGHTS HINSDALE ITASCA LISLE |
LOMBARD MEDINAH NAPERVILLE OAK BROOK OAK BROOK TERRACE ONTARIOVILLE ROSELLE VILLA PARK WARRENVILLE WESTMONT WESTON WHEATON WILLOWBROOK WINFIELD WOOD DALE WOODRIDGE |
Remember, even though the hearings take place at the courthouse, this is not a lawsuit. Rather it is a claim for benefits.
