Services
The Law Offices of Michael J. Helfand, L.L.C. deal with serious injury claims that were caused, aggravated or accelerated by your employment. In other words, if you strained your finger or got three stitches on your leg we are the wrong resource for you. On the other hand, if you have a significant injury and want a lawyer that will return your phone calls, talk in “plain English”, explain things to you, work with you and fight for your rights then we are the right place.
The firm offers services related to:
- Specific incidents that lead to a physical injury like a bulging or herniated disc in the neck or back, torn rotator cuff, torn ACL or meniscus, broken arm, foot or leg and injuries to the head that cause brain damage.
- Repetitive trauma incidents like typing, heavy lifting, walking on even surfaces that lead to carpal tunnel, cubital tunnel, bulging or herniated discs or other serious injuries.
- Occupational exposure to asbestos or other dangerous chemicals. Quite often a third party is responsible for these problems. We handle the workers’ compensation end and work with the best personal injury attorneys to go after the responsible party.
- Traditionally tougher cases to win that involve significant injuries such as RSD (complex regional pain syndrome), heart attacks that occur due in part to a job and strokes that are in part due to work conditions.
We are workers' compensation attorneys that help people with Illinois work injuries anywhere in IL via our statewide network of attorneys. Contact us and we will answer your questions or find the right lawyer for your situation.
