One of the most devastating events to an individual's life is an injury. Even a minor injury can be more than a nuisance. Major injuries can have lifelong consequences for people and their families. Things can be even more complicated if the injury is work related. Being injured "on the job" further complicates things because of the immediate loss of income. Benefits are often slow to kick in and anxiety, stress and frustration builds quickly as weeks go by. Life is difficult enough, and the added pressures of a work related injury can tear families apart. We have a saying at The Thiel Law Group:
"TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR SITUATION BEFORE IT GETS OUT OF CONTROL!"
The first step in any injury situation, especially with a work related injury, is to hire an experienced attorney who understands what you are going thru. Our firm's injury practice began with it's founding attorney, Keith Thiel. Mr. Thiel's mother was employed as a truck driver with the City of Chicago. During her career, she suffered many work related injuries including a knee injury, wrist injury, back injury, thumb injury, elbow injuries, hand injuries and a foot injury (almost every body part). Mr. Thiel guided his own mother thru multiple injuries over her 25 year career as a truck driver for the City of Chicago, and that experience has provided an excellent foundation for a successful injury practice at The Thiel Law Group, P.C.
If you are ready to take control of your situation before it gets out of control, please call us. Remember, the first consultation is free.
