Illinois Work Injury Attorneys
Below are some
work-related injuries that we have seen in
our practice. The list does not include
every injury, just the most common. If you
have any questions, or you have been injured
at work,
call Franks & Rechenberg, P.C. to speak
to an Illinois work injury attorney. We look
forward to hearing from you.
Single Incident or Sudden Injuries
These injuries are what
most people think of when talking about
worker’s compensation issues. A UPS driver
lifts a heavy box and pulls a muscle in his
back. Someone slips and falls on a slippery
floor and lands on their shoulder.
Repetitive Stress Injuries
These injuries can be the
same as the single incident injuries. Only
the cause is different. Instead of a single
incident, injuries can result from years of
repetitive stress.
Whether it happens all at
once, or over a period of months or years,
we have handled worker’s compensation cases
that involved
-
rotator cuff tear
-
torn ACL (anterior
cruciate ligament)

torn MCL (medial
collateral ligament)

If you are Injured at Work
The first step is to tell
your supervisor and file an incident report.
Because these injuries happened on the job,
