Helping Workers Adapt to New Circumstances
Many job injuries require time off from work. Some, however, have lasting effects, forcing you to adapt to a new set of circumstances. When you suffer a permanent work-related injury that prevents you from performing your previous occupation, but still allows you to work in some capacity, you may be entitled to receive training for a job in a new industry.
My name is Brian T. Morrow. For 32 years, I have been protecting the rights of injured employees. Serving clients in Southwest Chicago, I use my thorough understanding of Illinois workers' compensation laws to maximize benefits for employees like you.
Experienced Vocational Rehabilitation Lawyer
In Illinois, when you are hurt in the workplace and unable to return to your previous occupation, you may seek benefits for vocational rehabilitation and retraining for a new position. As your attorney, I can help you obtain benefits for:
- Job matching — Programs that match your skills and interests with positions you are qualified for
- Employment searching — Assistance with finding new employment
- Vocational counseling — Collaborating with professionals to determine possible employment options
- Targeted training — Training to prepare for a specific type of job
By pursuing options such as maintenance, or weekly payments, which are paid until you are able to work in your new field, I will help maximize your benefits. Trust my experience to work for you.
Considering All Aspects of Vocational Rehabilitation
If you are forced to accept a lower paying job than you held at the time of your injury, you may seek wage differential payments from your employer. Contact my office to learn more about this issue.
If your injuries are disabling, you may be eligible for Social Security disability payments. The amount of workers' compensation benefits you receive can affect Social Security Disability payments. I can help you understand how these two programs work together.
