Illinois Work Accident Attorneys
Did you suffer an injury in a traffic accident while working? At RIFFNER • BARBER, LLC, we understand a serious injury creates significant financial challenges when it limits your ability to work. In addition to the challenges associated with recovering from the injury, you must learn to manage routine monthly bills and medical expenses with a limited income. Our injury lawyers are experienced in helping clients obtain workers' compensation benefits following a serious work accident.

Employees who are injured in the course of work-related activity are entitled to workers' compensation benefits for medical expenses, disability payments and lost wages. This includes work accidents that occur on the highway or in while driving in traffic.
Did the traffic accident occur in the course of business?
In determining if workers' compensation benefits are available (through workers' compensation insurance), it is necessary to determine if the accident is work-related. The following are examples of potentially work-related traffic accidents:
- Delivery truck drivers (such as UPS, FedEx or courier drivers) injured in a truck accident
- Municipal workers (state and local government workers) involved in a car accident or truck accident while on-the-job
- Dump truck and garbage truck drivers involved in a work accident while in route
- Sales employees (such as sales representatives) injured in a car accident while in route to meet a client
- Other employees injured in a serious traffic accident while performing a job-related activity (such as running an errand for a supervisor)
In addition to workers' compensation benefits, injured workers may be eligible for compensation through the negligent driver's car insurance policy. We are experienced pursuing these liability claims in addition to workers' compensation claims.
If you were injured in a car accident, truck accident or other work accident, contact the work injury attorneys at RIFFNER • BARBER, LLC. We provide legal advice and representation to clients throughout the Chicago suburban area.
