  • Review and analyze medical records to evaluate claim strength, causation, and case value
  • Coordinate with medical providers to help clients access appropriate treatment
  • Take and defend depositions; conduct discovery as needed
  • Communicate regularly with clients, guiding them through each phase of the claims process
  • Collaborate with case staff to keep files moving
  • Keep current on changes to Illinois Workers' Compensation Act and IWCC procedure
Required Qualifications:
  • J.D. from an accredited law school
  • Licensed and in good standing with the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission (ARDC)
  • 3-7 years of experience handling workers' compensation matters (petitioner side preferred)
  • Demonstrated litigation and negotiation experience, including hearings before the IWCC
  • Strong legal research, writing, and analytical skills
  • Ability to independently manage a high-volume caseload with competing deadlines
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with medical record review and causation analysis in workers' compensation claims
  • Familiarity with case management platforms; specific experience with Litify highly preferred
