Arnett Law Group, LLC, in Chicago understands that the defense of workers’ compensation claims in Illinois can be a frustrating experience for insurance companies, third-party administrators and employers alike.

We also understand that each client has specific goals when approaching the litigation of a workers’ compensation claim, whether it is to defeat a fraudulent claim, minimize a client’s exposure, achieve the lowest settlement possible, or fight for justice at trial.

Moreover, our dedication to your cases and our team’s combined experience allows us to provide the highest quality analysis and workers’ compensation defense representation, including extensive experience in the following issues and topics unique to Illinois workers’ compensation cases:

  • Assessment of temporary, permanent, and medical exposure pursuant to the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act;
  • Defenses to accident; medical causation (including IME and evidence depositions); reasonableness and necessity of treatment; injurious behavior; notice; employer-employee relationships; average weekly wage disputes; and all other defenses available only in workers’ compensation cases;
  • Medicare issues, including identifying if and when a Medicare Set Aside is mandated, whether it should be funded, and alternatives that may better protect parties;
  • Settlement, including settlement of any and all disputed issues;
  • Illinois medical fee schedule, including how to calculate most allowable fees pursuant to the fee schedule;
  • Novel approaches to defense of claims based upon procedure and laws either exclusive to Illinois workers’ compensation claims and practice before the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission or by incorporation of rules and principles that control general civil practice;

In addition to our proven record of success in workers’ compensation defense, our combined experience as civil trial lawyers gives us a unique advantage when civil recovery is a viable option for employer recovery, as well as novel approaches to litigation in workers’ compensation cases that may not be considered by practitioners whose practice is solely focused on workers’ compensation defense.
