    We are honored to be named a “Top Performer” by Gallagher Bassett’s LegalScore Program, a data intensive review of law firm performance. Gallagher Bassett thoroughly examined several hundred closed cases over 4 quarters, comparing us to similarly situated law firms. As a result, we were rated a “Top Performer” in those states we serve based on categories such as expense to loss ratio, development of the claim to closure, cost and legal effectiveness, communication, and impact on outcomes.

  • Successful award reversal

    In Estate of Danny E. French v. Illinois Workers’ Compensation Comm’n, 2018 Il App (3d) 170368WC-U, we successfully reversed an award for permanent and total disability under Section 8(f). After securing evidence that petitioner was more active than he claimed, we took an offensive position, filing for suspension of PTD benefits and requesting a conversion of the PTD award into a man as a whole award under 8(d)2. The Illinois Appellate Court agreed with the Commission’s finding in that regard and even awarded respondent a credit for moneys paid above the MAW finding.

  • The case of the traveling employee

    Read More

    We defended United Airlines in a claim which established that even for traveling employees, the regular commute to the employment premises is not covered under the Workers’ Compensation Act. The petitioner was a flight attendant who was injured on a flight from Denver, where she lived, to a New York Airport. The Appellate Court held that the petitioner was not a traveling employee at the time of the accident. Traveling on a fee-waived United Airlines flight at the time of the accident did not transform her from a regular commuter to a traveling employee as this benefit was available to all United Airlines employees.
