DuPage County Healthcare Workers' Compensation Attorney

Attorneys for Clients with Healthcare Work Injuries in Illinois

Healthcare workers are under more stress than ever before. With increased workloads and labor shortages, they are often asked to work longer hours and take care of more patients during these long shifts. The difficult work conditions, repeated use of dangerous medical equipment, and exposure to patient diseases put workers in the healthcare industry at a greater risk of accidents, injuries, and illnesses. If you have suffered from a healthcare-related injury, you may be eligible for workers' compensation. To determine your rights and options, it is important to speak with a skilled workers' compensation attorney who has particular experience with healthcare worker injuries.

Common Healthcare Worker Injuries in Illinois

Healthcare workers are exposed to a wide range of injury risks. Some of the most common include:

Not all healthcare worker injuries are the result of one-time incidents. Some injuries and illnesses occur slowly over time because of repetitive tasks or repeated exposure to certain viruses and/or bacteria. This can make it more difficult to prove eligibility for workers' compensation. In such instances, it is not uncommon for the claim to be denied because the illness/injury was not witnessed by anyone and/or it was not reported immediately. A skilled workers' compensation attorney can help recover damages for you by developing and gathering medical, vocational, and other types of evidence and negotiating a favorable settlement with the insurance company.

There are other injuries in the healthcare industry that are the result of a third party. For example, if a medical device malfunctions and causes a worker to get hurt, this could end up becoming a third party injury case. Healthcare workers may also be eligible for Social Security disability if they have worked the required number of quarters to qualify.
