Why Cronauer Law
The attorneys who make insurers pay what they owe.
Workers' comp insurers protect their bottom line, not you. We make sure you get every benefit the law provides and that your future is protected.
We fight denials and delays.
Claims get denied, benefits get cut off, and treatment gets refused. We push back and force the insurer to authorize the care you need.
We protect your future.
We account for permanent disability, future medical needs, and lost earning capacity, not just today's bills.
We take on third-party claims too.
If a negligent party other than your employer caused your injury, you may have a separate claim on top of workers' comp. We pursue every source of recovery.
Zero risk to you.
Free consultation. No upfront cost. Our fee comes from the recovery, only if we win.

What Clients Say
People we’ve helped.
What You Can Recover
Comp pays more than your medical bills.
Workers' compensation pays benefits, not a damages award, and insurers underpay nearly every category of them. We document your treatment, your restrictions, and your lost earning power, then hold them to what Illinois law actually requires.
Medical care, paid in full
All reasonable and necessary treatment for your work injury: doctor visits, surgery, physical therapy, prescriptions, and travel to appointments. You pay nothing.
Temporary disability pay
While your doctor keeps you off work, comp pays two-thirds of your average weekly wage, tax-free, until you're released.
Permanent disability benefits
Compensation for lasting impairment once you reach maximum medical improvement, based on the body part injured and the extent of the loss.
Wage differential
If your injury forces you into lower-paying work, you may be owed a share of the difference, potentially for years.
Vocational rehabilitation
Retraining, job placement, and maintenance benefits when you can't go back to the work you did before.
Third-party injury claims
If someone other than your employer caused your injury, we can bring a separate claim for pain and suffering, which workers' comp alone does not pay.
How It Works
Three steps. No surprises.
Step 01
Free Phone Call
Tell us what happened at work. We explain the benefits you're entitled to and whether your employer or their insurer is shortchanging you.
Step 02
We File and Build Your Claim
We file with the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission, get you in front of the right doctors, and document the full extent of your injury and restrictions.
Step 03
We Win Your Benefits
Most claims settle. When the insurer denies or lowballs you, we take it to arbitration before the Commission and win the benefits you're owed. You owe us nothing unless we win.
FAQ
Workers' compensation questions, answered.
What benefits can I get through workers' compensation?
Illinois workers' comp can cover your medical treatment, a portion of your lost wages while you recover, permanent disability benefits, and vocational rehabilitation. If a claim is denied or underpaid, we fight to get you what the law provides.
Do I have to prove my employer was at fault?
No. Workers' compensation is a no-fault system, so you generally don't have to prove your employer did anything wrong, only that your injury is work-related. That's one reason insurers work so hard to dispute whether an injury really happened at work.
What if my claim was denied?
A denial is not the end. Many valid claims are denied at first. We handle appeals before the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission and know how to overcome the insurer's tactics.
Can I be fired for filing a workers' comp claim?
Illinois law protects you from retaliation for filing a legitimate workers' compensation claim. If your employer retaliates, you may have an additional claim. Tell us what happened.
What is a third-party claim?
If someone other than your employer, such as a negligent contractor, driver, or equipment manufacturer, contributed to your injury, you may have a separate personal injury claim in addition to workers' comp. These can significantly increase your recovery.
How much does it cost to hire Cronauer Law?
Nothing up front. Workers' comp attorney fees in Illinois are set by law as a percentage of your recovery, and only if we win. The initial consultation is always free.
Don’t wait
Don't let them shortchange your recovery.
Every day you wait, evidence disappears and your claim gets weaker. The consultation is free. The advice is honest. The fight is ours.
