Defending the Rights of the Seriously Injured in Illinois and Iowa Capron Avgerinos & Heinlen is made up of lawyers whose focus is workers’ compensation, personal injury, and Defense Base Act (DBA) law. We are dedicated to serving our clients and obtaining the just and fair resolution they deserve. Our attorneys have a combined 90 years of experience handling hundreds of workers’ compensation claims, such as construction accidents, factory injuries, back and joint trauma, spinal cord injuries, and death claims. Our firm’s personal injury practice has helped countless clients obtain settlements and awards. Our lawyers have had extensive experience working with clients in the skilled trades, and we understand the specific challenges physical laborers face in the workplace. Through our work with organized labor, our firm has achieved solid results for electricians, laborers, painters, plumbers and steamfitters, carpenters, roofers, bricklayers, teamsters, steelworkers, machinists, and commercial food workers. Clients choose us because: - Our firm is small and cohesive. Clients receive the same senior-level counsel they would at a large firm, without the layers of bureaucracy. - Our responsive team collaborates with clients because we want to be partners in the process of winning cases. - Our original founders are still with the firm, ensuring that our code of ethics is maintained and promise of quality is kept. We represent clients in the Greater Chicago area, Dubuque, and the Quad Cities, as well as throughout both states in communities such as Joliet, Wheaton, Rockford, Moline, and Clinton. Our attorneys are available for presentations on a wide variety of labor, worker's compensation, and personal injury topics.
