Successful Workers Compensation Cases

Awards and settlements for injured workers in Illinois

Below are just a few examples of the lump sum settlements and awards that John V. Boshardy & Associates has obtained for just a few of its clients. Every case is unique and determined on its own facts. No one case is indicative of how another might be awarded.

Workers compensation awards and settlements are based in large part on the amount of weekly earnings the injured worker earned before the accident. As a result, the dollar amounts for the various awards and settlements vary. Workers compensation settlements and awards are not taxable. Not every case must be arbitrated, as settlements are reached in many cases. Even in the case of a settlement, each case is different and the settlement reflects the facts of each individual case. Even after awards are issued, the parties may settle the claim.

The lawyers of John V. Boshardy & Associates devote the same attention and skill to each case, no matter the size, to ensure that all our clients obtain the compensation that they deserve. Past awards are no guarantee of future results, and each case will be decided based on its own merit and circumstances. The cases below are a sample of cases in which the lawyers of John V. Boshardy & Associates have proven claims and obtained compensation for clients in cases that were disputed and denied by the employers' and their workers compensation insurance company. A lot of other law firms claim to obtain "Lifetime Benefits" for their clients. John V. Boshardy & Associates has a track record of actually obtaining "Lifetime Benefits" for its clients.

These cases should not be taken to be indicative of the results always obtained in such cases with similar situations. If you have a work-related injury, John V. Boshardy & Associates would be happy to review your claim and review how our firm may help you in seeking any benefits to which you may be entitled.
