TRIAL & WORKERS' COMP LAWYER TESTIMONIALS

First Responders We've Helped

“Attorney Brent Eames earned a victory for an injured client before the Workers’ Compensation Commission which included an additional award of over $17,000.00 for penalties and attorney’s fees against the insurance company for what the Arbitrator ruled was unreasonable and vexatious behavior.”

“Attorney Brent Eames represented an injured worker who suffered bilateral knee injuries caused by his work activities. The Petitioner underwent surgery to each injured knee and was disabled from working for 67 weeks. Mr. Eames successfully argued and established that the petitioner’s injuries are causally connected to his work activities thereby securing an award exceeded $225,000.00 in related benefits.”

“Attorney Brent Eames, along with other attorneys of Whiteside & Goldberg, Ltd., were featured in the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin for their recent $2,250,000 recovery in Rock Island County. Based on recent jury verdict/settlement research, Mr. Eames obtained one of the largest annual recoveries for an automobile negligence victim in Rock Island County.”

“After his client suffered injuries to both of his hands on the job, requiring surgeries, Mr. Eames brought the claim to hearing before the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission. The insurance company argued the injuries were the result of unrelated issues; the injured worker was capable of full-duty work; and the surgeries were not medically necessary. At hearing, the Arbitrator agreed with the insurance company. However, Mr. Eames filed an immediate appeal, arguing to the reviewing Commission that the Arbitrator’s decision was against the greater weight of the evidence. Commissioners agreed, reversing the decision of the Arbitrator and awarding all claimed benefits to the injured worker. These benefits include payment for all related medical expenses (past and future) and over a year of disability pay.”
