Illinois Job Injury Lawyers
Your employer is not your advocate. The workers' compensation insurance company is not on your side. Do not expect either of them to automatically act in your best interest. The primary goal of insurance carriers and self-insured employers is to limit their expenses and maximize their profits. Whenever they can, they will withhold, delay or deny workers' comp benefits, since any payment of benefits costs money.
At the Southern Illinois law firm of Short & Smith, P.C., we are advocates for injured workers. With decades of experience on our side, we know the steps that need to be taken to make certain you receive all of the workers' compensation you are entitled to.

Our attorneys handle workplace accidents of all types, including:
- Construction accidents
- Refinery accidents
- Factory accidents
- Nursing home accidents
- Office accidents
No matter what your occupation is, you are entitled to workers' compensation benefits. Our mission is to help you get them.
Take Action as Soon as Possible
By retaining our services as soon as possible, you will ensure that you do not miss any of the important steps you are required to take to protect your right to workers' compensation. You will also ensure that you do not do anything that could jeopardize your case.
While you must report your medical condition to your employer, you do not have to provide a written or recorded statement to the insurance company or anyone representing your employer. Any such statement could be used against you. Talk to our lawyers first.
