Workers' Compensation

Workers’ compensation in Illinois and Indiana is a fast-moving and rapidly-changing practice area. Bryce Downey & Lenkov LLC is uniquely qualified to meet the challenges that this dynamic area presents through our philosophy of efficient, cost-effective claims handling.

In the workers’ compensation setting, we represent employers ranging from Fortune 500 corporations to small businesses. We believe strongly in a teamwork approach, involving the employer, third-party administrator and insurer in a relationship based on mutual cooperation and communication.

Our experience in workers’ compensation allows us to effectively handle claims from the first report of injury through trial and appeal. We believe that the best claims are the ones that are handled by our clients without the need for legal representation. Toward that end, we offer free advice, seminars, newsletters and other modes of legal education to increase efficient claims handling and decrease litigation costs.

The following is a list of Illinois venues that we cover. We also cover many Indiana venues.  For venues not listed below, please contact one of our team members for more information.
