Chicago Nurses And Health Care Workers Lawyers
Protecting Against Injuries, Pathogens, Allergies And Assaults
Helping Injured People For 55 Years. Let Our Experience Work For You.
At Orzoff Law Offices, with offices in both Northbrook and Chicago, Illinois, we have been helping injured nurses and health care workers since 1966. Our well-respected law firm was founded with a dedication to protecting the legal rights of injured people and maximizing their financial recovery. If you are a nurse or health care worker who has been injured on the job, please contact our attorneys for a free consultation to discuss your rights.
Since health care workers and nurses are the ones responsible for taking care of others, often putting in long hours with heroic measures, they are frequently overlooked when it comes to work injuries. With staff cutbacks and the constant squeeze to handle more patients than ever, health care workers are under increasingly more physical and emotional stress.
Common health risks leading to nursing and health care injuries include:
- Carpal tunnel syndrome from repetitive use of the hands.
- Slips and falls leading to hip, knee, foot, back, neck, hand and shoulder injuries
- Back injuries and foot injuries from standing all day and lifting patients
- Latex allergies from protective gloves and balloons
- Needle stick injuries from administering shots to patients
- Blood-borne pathogens and viral exposure from treating patients with contagious diseases
- Patient assaults, including physical and sexual attacks
If you have experienced an injury at your clinic, hospital, or other place of health care employment, contact our Illinois nurse and health care attorneys at Orzoff Law Offices today for compassionate advice and knowledgeable legal services. We offer free consultations and results-oriented legal services.
We also help people with other types of personal injuries, including those injured from auto accidents, and the families of victims of wrongful death.
Contact our Northbrook or Chicago law firm if you have been injured on the job while tending to the health needs of others. Let our years of experience work for you and protect your rights. We are responsive to our client’s needs and concerns. The first consultation is free, we have two convenient locations, and Spanish and Polish language legal services are available.
