Experienced Illinois Workers' Compensation Lawyers
While Illinois workers' compensation is a no-fault system, some employers will still pressure workers not to file claims, or they will assert that an injury is not work-related. At Kanoski & Associates, we have a team of lawyers devoted to representing injured workers in settlement negotiations and throughout trial and/or appeals of their claims. A regional law firm, we have offices in Bloomington, Champaign, Decatur, Macomb, Peoria, Quincy, Rushville, and Springfield to serve injured workers throughout central Illinois.
Kanoski & Associates has collected over $100 million for injured workers.

Injuries that occur on the job are covered by workers' compensation whether or not the employee was negligent. A workplace injury can involve anything from a construction accident to a repetitive stress injury, a back injury, or an industrial disease. Our attorneys can help ensure that workers get all the benefits they are entitled to receive.
When should I get started? Is there a Statute of Limitations on my case?
Do not delay. Illinois has statutes, or state laws, governing the time allowed for filing specific types of lawsuits. These time limits are called "Statutes of Limitations." If you miss the deadline for filing your case, you lose the right to do so. You are best protected by discussing your case with an attorney as soon as possible.
While it is essential that workplace injuries are reported to an employer, employees often fail to report injuries because they fear employer retaliation. Our attorneys have the experience to ensure that injured workers get the medical benefits and lost wages they are entitled to receive. We work to understand the extent of our clients' injuries and determine whether they are eligible for temporary total disability, permanent total disability, or permanent partial disability.
Our attorneys can advise you on the following:
- Reimbursement for rehabilitation costs
- Being required to go to a company nurse instead of the family doctor
- Worry about retaliation against you for filing a workers’ compensation claim
- Pressure not to report your injury or to minimize your claim
